Frederick Sanger

Frederick Sanger was a British biochemist renowned for his groundbreaking work in DNA sequencing, the process of determining the order of nucleotides in DNA. His innovative methods, developed in the 1970s, revolutionized genetics and laid the foundation for modern molecular biology. Sanger was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry twice, first in 1958 for his work on protein sequencing and again in 1980 for his contributions to DNA sequencing. His discoveries have significantly advanced our understanding of genetics, enabled medical research, and propelled the fields of biotechnology and genomics. Sanger's legacy is pivotal to modern science.
