James Watson is an American molecular biologist born April 6, 1928. He is best known for his work determining the structure of DNA. In 1953, Watson and Francis Crick proposed a double helix model of DNA, based partly on X-ray crystallography data from Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. This model explained how genetic information is stored and replicated. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 for this discovery. Watson served as Director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory from 1968 to 2007, where he oversaw significant research initiatives. He was also involved in the Human Genome Project and served as its first director at the National Institutes of Health. Watson authored several books including "The Double Helix," a personal account of the DNA discovery. His contributions established foundational principles in molecular biology and genetics that shaped modern biological science.
