Francis Harry Compton Crick was an #English #biochemist and #biophysicist who shared (with James Watson and Maurice Wilkins) the 1962 #NobelPrize for #Physiology or Medicine for their determination of the #molecular #structure of #deoxyribonucleic acid (#DNA), the chemical substance ultimately responsible for #hereditary control of life functions.
#Crick and #Watson began their collaboration in 1951, and published their paper on the #doublehelix structure on 2 Apr 1953 in Nature. This accomplishment became a #cornerstone of #genetics and was widely regarded as one of the most important discoveries of 20th-century #biology.
