Watson is best known for his discovery of the structure of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), for which he shared with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. They proposed that the DNA molecule takes the shape of a double helix, an elegantly simple structure that resembles a gently twisted ladder. The rails of the ladder are made of alternating units of phosphate and the sugar deoxyribose; the rungs are each composed of a pair of nitrogen- containing nucleotides. Born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1928, Dr. Watson received a B.S. (1947) from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. (1950) from Indiana University, both in zoology. Following a National Research Fellowship in Copenhagen and a National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis Fellowship at the University of Cambridge, England, he spent two years at the California Institute of Technology. He jointed the Harvard faculty in 1 955 and became Professor in 1961, resigning in 1976 to become full-time director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory . In 1988 he was appointed Associate Director for Human Genome Research of the National Institutes of Health. In 1989 he was appointed Director of the National Center for Human Genome Research at the NIH. In 1992, Dr. Watson resigned his position at NCHGR after successfully launching a worldwide effort to map and sequence the human genome. Signed by Author(s).
