Franklin Stahl
American molecular biologist and geneticist
Franklin (Frank) William Stahl (born October 8, 1929) is an American molecular biologist and geneticist.
After they had moved in, they divided up the chores.
With Matthew Meselson, Stahl conducted the famous Meselson-Stahl experiment showing that DNA is replicated by a semiconservative mechanism, meaning that each strand of the DNA serves as a template for production of a new strand.
He is Emeritus Professor of Biology[1] at the University of Oregon's Institute of Molecular Biology in Eugene, Oregon.
Career
Stahl, like his two older sisters, graduated from the public schools of Needham, a Boston suburb.
In 1951, he was awarded an AB degree in biology from Harvard College, and matriculated in the biology department of the University of Rochester. His interest in genetics was cemented in 1952 by his introduction to bacterial viruses (phages) in a course taught by A.
H. (Gus) Doermann at the Cold Spring Harbor Biological Laboratory. In 1956, he received a
