Friedrich Miescher
Friedrich Miescher was born in Basel, Switzerland. Friedrich was shy and had a hearing handicap. Friedrich wanted to become a priest but his father made him take medical school. He based his carrer doing medical research. He went to study at the "University of Tubingen" to study under the "Felix Hoppe-Seyler". There Freidrich has discovered the "Nuclein" through out his research. -

All the following Scientist -
Frederick Griffith
Frederick Griffith is a British "Bacteriologist" whose was to focus on "Epidemiology" and "Pathology" of bacterial pneumonia. On January 1928 he reported what is known to be as the "Griffith's Experiment" he explains the demonstrations of "Bacterial Transformation" were a bacterium changes from "Form" into "Function." -
Thomas Edison
Born on February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio, Thomas Edison rose from humble beginnings to work as an inventor of major technology. Setting up a lab in Menlo Park, some of the products he developed included the telegraph, phonograph, the first commercially practical incandescent electric light bulb, alkaline storage batteries and Kinetograph (a camera for motion pictures). He died on October 18, 1931, in West Orange, New Jersey. -
J.J Thompson
J.J. Thomson was born on December 18, 1856, in Cheetham Hill, England, and went on to attend Trinity College at Cambridge, where he would come to head the Cavendish Laboratory. His research in cathode rays led to the discovery of the electron, and he pursued further innovations in atomic structure exploration. Thomson won the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physics, among many accolades. He died on August 30, 1940. -
Oswald Theodore Avery Jr.
Oswald Theodore Avery Jr. was a "Canadian-American Physician" and a "Medical Researcher." His entire career was spent at the "Rockefeller University Hospital" in New York City. Through out his career he has discovered that, DNA carries a cell's genetic material and can be altered through transformation. -
Erwin Chargaff
Erwin Chargaff was an "Austro-Hungarian Biochemist" to the United States. He was a professor of biochemistry of "Columbia University Medical School." Through at his lifetime he has created 2 main rules which is called the "Chargaff's Rules." One of the rules were to show that the natural DNA the number of Guanine Units that equals the number of Cytosine Units and the number of Adenine Units equals the number of Thymine Units. -
Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins
Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins was a "New Zealand British Physicist" and a "Molecular Biologist." He is best known for his work at the "King's College London" on the structure of DNA. Through his studies there he claimed that the DNA Molecule was shaped like a "Twisted Ladder" which is now known has the "Double Helix." -
Rosalind Elsie Franklin
Rosalind Elsie Franklin was an "English Chemist and a "X-ray Crystallographer." She contributed to understanding of the structure of DNA, RNA and more. Rosalind Elsie Franklin is correlated with Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins on the discovery of the DNA Molecule structure which is like a "Twisted Ladder" and today known as the "Double Helix." -
Martha Cowles Chase
Martha Cowles Chase was an American geneticist known for having in 1952, with Alfred Hershey, experimentally helped to confirm that DNA rather than protein is the genetic material of life. -
Alfred Day Hershey
Alfred Day Hershey was born in Owosso, Michigan. He graduated from Michigan State in 1930 with a B.S., and in 1934 with a Ph.D. After his Ph.D., Hershey accepted a position at the Washington University School of Medicine in the Department of Bacteriology, where he started working on bacteriophage. Through he research and his studies he proved that Phage DNA, and not protein, was the genetic material. -
James Dewey Watson
James Dewey Watson is an "American Molecular Biologist" a "Geneticist" and a "Zoologist." He earned his degrees at the "University of Chicago" and the "Indiana University." He is best known for the discovery of the Structure of DNA. -
Francis Harry Compton Crick
Francis Harry Compton Crick was a "British Molecular Biologist" a "Biophysicist" and a "Neuroscientist." he was noted for the co-founder of the structure of the DNA Molecule with James Watson.
