Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Beadle, George Wells (b. Oct. 22, 1903, Wahoo, Neb., U.S.d. June 9, 1989, Pomona, Calif.), American geneticist , Nobel laureate, and president of the University of Chicago (1960-68), who helped found biochemical genetics when he showed that genes affect heredity by determining enzyme structure. After earning his Ph.D. in genetics from Cornell University (1931), Beadle went to the laboratory of Thomas Hunt Morgan at the California Institute of Technology, where he did work on the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster . Beadle soon realized that genes must influence heredity chemically. In 1935, with Boris Ephrussi at the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique in Paris, he designed a complex technique to determine the nature of these chemical effects in Drosophila . Their results indicated that something as apparently simple as eye colour is the product of a long series of chemical reactions and that genes somehow affect these reactions. After a year at Harvard, Beadle pursued gene action in detail at Stanford University in 1937. Working there with Edward Tatum , he found that the total environment of a red bread mold, Neurospora

Other Resources Biography George Wells Beadle was born at Wahoo, Nebraska, U.S.A., October 22, 1903, the son of Chauncey Elmer Beadle, a farmer, and his wife Hattie Albro. George was educated at the Wahoo High School and might himself have become a farmer if one of his teachers at school had not directed his mind towards science and persuaded him to go to the College of Agriculture at Lincoln, Nebraska. In 1926 he took his B.Sc. degree at the University of Nebraska and subsequently worked for a year with Professor F.D. Keim, who was studying hybrid wheat. In 1927 he took his M.Sc. degree, and Professor Keim secured for him a post as Teaching Assistant at Cornell University, where he worked, until 1931, with Professors R.A. Emerson and L.W. Sharp on Mendelian asynopsis in Zea mays . For this work he obtained, in 1931, his Ph.D. degree. In 1931 he was awarded a National Research Council Fellowship at the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, where he remained from 1931 until 1936. During this period he continued his work on Indian corn and began, in collaboration with Professors Th. Dobzhansky, S. Emerson, and A.H. Sturtevant, work on crossing-over in the fruit fly

39. George Wells Beadle A Biography of the Anthropologist George Wells Beadle 19031989. George Beadle is credited as the man who laid the foundation for the field of biotechnology. http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/information/biography/abcde/beadle_georgewells.html

George Wells Beadle George Beadle is credited as "the man who laid the foundation for the field of biotechnology." He studied agronomy under Frank Keirn at the University of Nebraska Lincoln , earning a Bachelor of Science degree in 1926 and a Master of Science in 1927. His interest in genetics began at Cornell, where he began his dissertation work and earned his Ph.D. In 1931, Beadle was distinguished National Research Council post-doctoral fellow and instructed at California Institute of Technology through 1935. He served on the faculties of Harvard University Stanford University , and the Institut de Biologie in Paris. It was then he conducted his prize-winning research: subjecting the neurospora of red bread mold to x-rays, he caused the mold to mutate. He then noted some mold ceased to produce specific organic compounds needed to survive. He added similar but different compounds and observed how the mold synthesized needed chemicals. His conclusion was that "the characteristic function of the gene was to control the synthesis of a particular enzyme. (Genetic Control of Biochemical Reactions in Neurospora, 1941) In 1946 he returned to Cal Tech as Professor and Chair of the Division of Biology. While he was serving as the George Eastman Professor at Oxford University University of Chicago from 1961-1968. During this time he brought many distinguished and prize-winning scholars to the university, and with his second wife, Muriel, he wrote
