Frederick SangerOMCHCBEFRSFAA(/ˈsæŋər/; 13 August 1918 – 19 November 2013) was a Britishbiochemistwho received theNobel Prize in Chemistrytwice. He won the 1958 Chemistry Prize for determining theamino acidsequence ofinsulinand numerous other proteins, demonstrating in the process that each had a unique, definite structure; this was a foundational discovery for thecentral dogma of molecular biology. At the newly constructedLaboratory of Molecular Biologyin Cambridge, he developed and subsequently refined thefirst-ever DNA sequencing technique, which vastly expanded the number of feasible experiments in molecular biology and remains in widespread use today. The breakthrough earned him the 1980 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which he shared withWalter GilbertandPaul Berg. Fields: Biochemistry Education: St John's College, Cambridge BA PhD
