Francis Crick

Francis Crick (1916-2004) was a British molecular biologist, biophysicist, and neuroscientist, best known for co-discovering the structure of DNA alongside James Watson. In 1953, their groundbreaking work revealed that DNA is structured as a double helix, which provided significant insights into the molecular basis of heredity and laid the foundation for modern genetics. Crick's contributions to science extended beyond DNA.
