Tributes continue to pour in for James Dewey Watsons who succumbed to short illness he was 97.
A pioneering molecular biologist who along with Francis Crick and unraveled the mystery of DNA's structure, revolutionizing our understanding of genetics and life itself.
Born on April 6, 1928 in Chicago, Illinois, Watson's curiosity and passion for science led him to groundbreaking discoveries.
His work at Cambridge University, where he collaborated with Crick, resulted in the proposal of the double helix model of DNA in 1953, earning them the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962.
Despite controversy surrounding his views, Watson's scientific legacy remains profound.
His work has transformed medicine, genetics and biotechnology, inspiring generations of scientists.
Watson's contributions extend beyond DNA, with significant research in protein synthesis, viral biology and cancer studies.
