Dr. Frederick Sanger - Who won 2 Nobel Prize in Chemistry died

Mr. Frederick Sanger, the only person who won two Nobel Prize in Chemistry died at age 95 .

Researchers in the UK describe Frederick Sanger as one of the greatest scientists in British generations of scientists. He is considered the father of genetics after determining the exact sequence of DNA structure . Dr. Sanger also developed the formula for determining the structure of proteins.

Frederick Sanger was born in 1918 in Gloucestershire. His family has a tradition of medicine and he followed his father towards medicine. He studied biochemistry at Cambridge University.

He is the only English to date to have won two Nobel Prizes and is the only scientist to win two Nobel Prize in Chemistry in his biochemical research career.

Dr. Frederick Sanger

His research career was first known in 1958 in developing a formula for determining the chemical structure of proteins. The proteins are made up of amino acids. Dr. Sanger identified the amino acid sequentially in order to build insulin.

After studying protein, Mr. Sanger began to explore and build the structure of DNA. His team produced the first sequence of genomes formed from more than 5000 base pairs. He received the second Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980 thanks to the process of building DNA structure. This research is still in use today.

He married Margaret Joan Howe in 1940. Although she was not a scientist, she contributed to building a peaceful and happy family.

Dr. Sanger was awarded Britain's highest honorary award in 1986. However, he refused the title of knight because he did not want to be called by "Him".

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Academy in Cambridgeshire is named after Dr. Frederick Sanger. The founder of the academy, Mr. John Sulston, offered to name the academy's website after his name and was agreed.

Dr. Sanger pursued his research career until he was 65 years old. After retirement, he spends a lot of time taking care of the garden and campus around his apartment.

Wellcome Trust academy director Dr. Jeremy Farrrar regretted the departure of Frederick Sanger, one of the greatest scientists of all generations of British people."Fred can be regarded as the father of the genetic era. His research career has laid the foundation to help scientists learn and explore genetic code, creating a biochemical revolution that contributes to the improvement. good health care process ".

Professor Colin Blakemore, who was the CEO of the British Medical Research Council, said that Dr. Sanger was a humble and whole-hearted person for science. He is one of the heroes in English science in the 21st century.
