Aug 26, 2024 · Francis Crick (born June 8, 1916, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England—died July 28, 2004, San Diego, California, U.S.) was a British biophysicist, who, with James Watson and Maurice Wilkins, received the 1962 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for their determination of the molecular structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the ...
Francis Harry Compton Crick OM FRS [3][4] (8 June 1916 – 28 July 2004) was an English molecular biologist, biophysicist, and neuroscientist. He, James Watson, Rosalind Franklin, and Maurice Wilkins played crucial roles in deciphering the helical structure of the DNA molecule.
Apr 2, 2014 · Biophysicist Francis Crick helped develop radar and magnetic mines during World War II. After the war, he began researching the structure of DNA for the University of Cambridge...
In recent years Crick, in collaboration with S. Brenner, has concentrated more on biochemistry and genetics leading to ideas about protein synthesis (the «adaptor hypothesis»), and the genetic code, and in particular to work on acridine-type mutants. Crick was made an F.R.S. in 1959.
Oct 29, 2018 · Francis Crick received a Nobel Prize for the co-discovery of the structure of DNA. Learn more about his life, research, and legacy.
Francis Crick played a decisive role in the 1953 discovery of DNA's double helix structure and its ability to replicate. Crick carried out further highly influential work in genetics, proposing the Sequence Hypothesis and the Central Dogma in 1958.
Jul 28, 2004 · The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1962. Born: 8 June 1916, Northampton, United Kingdom. Died: 28 July 2004, San Diego, CA, USA. Affiliation at the time of the award: MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Francis Crick (1916-2004) was one of Britain's great scientists. He is best known for his work with James Watson which led to the identification of the structure of DNA in 1953, drawing on the work of Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin and others.
Jul 30, 2004 · Francis H. C. Crick, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, the genetic blueprint for life, and the leading molecular biologist of his age, died on Wednesday night in a hospital in San Diego.
Francis Harry Compton Crick was born on June 8, 1916, in Northampton, England. As a child he enjoyed creating his own scientific experiments. He studied physics at University College, London. During World War II (1939–45) he worked as a scientist, developing torpedoes. After the war, Crick began further studies at Cambridge University.
