Francis Crick Human Genome Project Scientist

In 1947, Crick enthused to the strange ways Laboratory, Cambridge, where he studied the corporeal properties of cytoplasm in cultured fibroblast cells with Arthur Hughes. Two years afterward he joined the Medical Research Unit at Cavendish Laboratory. There, a squad led by Max Perutz was using X-ray crystallography to find out the structure of proteins – a subject that became the topic of Crick's PhD thesis. In 1951, James Watson here at the Cavendish and meet Crick. The two rapidly became friends and embarked on an effort to expose the structure of DNA. Crick brought to the scheme his knowledge of X-ray diffraction, while Watson brought knowledge of phage and bacterial heredity.
