Description

Explore the origins of molecular biology in this academic study from Oxford University Press. Lily Kay examines how this scientific discipline emerged from chemistry and physical biochemistry between 1930 and the mid-1950s. Rather than a random evolution, the book argues that the rise of this field was a result of systematic efforts by key scientists and supporting foundations like the Rockefeller Foundation and Caltech. This volume, part of the Monographs on the History and Philosophy of Biology series, traces the transition of biology into a dominant field focused on genetic structure. It provides a deep look at how these scientific shifts granted researchers unprecedented power over life through the study of molecular structures.
