Background
Professor of Biochemistry, Stanford University, 1959-1982. Among the first to investigate the quantitative genetics of bacterial
viruses. His studies formed the basis for much of our understanding of how viruses interact with their host cells, and how
they may produce cancer. His detailed biochemical investigations of viral genes have clarified their organization in the chromosomes
of viruses and much of the mechanisms by which they are often incorporated into the host chromosome
