View full profile →

Frederick Sanger (1918–2013) was a British biochemist who won two Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, first in 1958 for determining the structure of insulin and again in 1980 for developing the Sanger method of DNA sequencing. His meticulous, hands-on approach revolutionized molecular biology, enabling the mapping of genomes and earning him a reputation as a quiet genius of the laboratory.
