Sign in to saveBritish biochemist (1918–2013)
AI overview
Frederick Sanger was a British biochemist who won two Nobel Prizes for developing groundbreaking methods to determine the structure of biological molecules—first for mapping the structure of insulin, and later for inventing DNA sequencing techniques. His work laid the foundation for modern molecular biology and genetics, making it possible for scientists to read and understand the genetic instructions contained in living organisms.

Article
Frederick Sanger (/ˈsæŋər/; 13 August 1918 – 19 November 2013) was a British biochemist who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry twice.
He won the 1958 Chemistry Prize for determining the amino acid sequence of insulin and numerous other proteins, demonstrating in the process that each had a unique, definite structure; this was a foundational discovery for the central dogma of molecular biology.
