Fredrick Sanger is known best for his methods in molecular biology for discovering the Sanger Method, a well-known sequencing method that uses specific targets that bind to specific DNA bases. Born in 1918, Sanger decided to pursue a career in science rather than a career in medicine at the Cambridge University. He obtained his B.A. in 1939 and began working in various labs. In 1962 he moved to the Laboratory of Molecular Biology and worked in the same place as Watson and Crick and others who were all working on a DNA related problem. In 1958, Sanger won the first nobel prize for his work on the structure of proteins and won a second Nobel prize in 1980 for his work in developing sequencing methods of Nucleic Acids. Sanger retired in 1985 and also started the Sanger Centre, which is a research institute for advancing knowledge of the genome. Sanger died in 2013.
