Considered 'the father of genomics', Fred Sanger (1918-2013) paved
the way for the modern revolution in our understanding of biology.
His pioneering methods for sequencing proteins, RNA and,
eventually, DNA earned him two Nobel Prizes. He remains one of only
four scientists (and the only British scientist) ever to have
achieved that distinction. In this, the first full biography of
Fred Sanger to be published, Brownlee traces Sanger's life from his
birth in rural Gloucestershire to his retirement in 1983 from the
Medical Research Council's Laboratory of Molecular Biology in
Cambridge. Along the way, he highlights the remarkable extent of
Sanger's scientific achievements and provides a real portrait of
the modest man behind them. Including an extensive transcript of a
rare interview of Sanger by the author, this biography also
considers the wider legacy of Sanger's work, including his impact
on the Human Genome Project and beyond.
