United KingdomHe cracked the code that cells use to copy themselves. The double helix structure Crick worked out with Watson in 1953 turned biology from a descriptive science into a molecular one, and the phrase "central dogma" — his — still governs how we think about genes.
About
Francis Harry Compton Crick was born 8 June 1916 in England and trained as a molecular biologist and biophysicist. He and James Watson published their Nature paper on DNA's helical structure in 1953, work built on crucial contributions from Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. The four deciphered the molecule's architecture; Crick, Watson, and Wilkins shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for it. Crick coined "central dogma" to describe the one-way flow of genetic information from nucleic acids to proteins — irreversible at the final step. He spent his later decades as J.W. K…
