François Jacob
(1920-2013)
François Jacob was a French biologist who, together with
Jacques Monod, originated the idea that control of enzyme levels in all cells occurs through regulation of transcription. He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Jacques Monod and André Lwoff.
Contemplating
purpose in biology, Jacob famously said "the goal of a cell is to become two cells."
