Two pioneering molecular biologists were Alfred Hershey and James Watson.\u00a0<\/span>From the 1940s, Alfred Hershey, Max Delbr\u00fcck and Salvador Luria used bacteriophages, viruses that attack bacteria, to study genetics. In a 1952 experiment, Hershey and Martha Chase confirmed that organisms\u2019 genes are recorded in DNA molecules.<\/span><\/p>\n

Francis Crick and James Watson mapped the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 and concluded that the structure served as a code. This was a huge step in a deeper understanding of how genes control the processes of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alfred Hershey, Max Delbr\u00fcck and Salvador Luria were awarded the\u00a0Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine\u00a0in\u00a01969.
