DNA double helix contains one original and one newly synthesized strand. This discovery became a cornerstone of biology.
Born in Boston in 1929, Stahl studied at Harvard and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester before a postdoctoral fellowship at Caltech with Max Delbrück.
Stahl, known for his scientific rigor, humility, and mentorship, also made significant contributions to genetic recombination and phage biology. He spent much of his career at the University of Oregon's Institute of Molecular Biology, mentoring numerous scientists and fostering a collaborative research environment.
DNA molecules exchange genetic material, contributing significantly to our understanding of how genetic diversity arises. His research on bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, further deepened knowledge of molecular genetics and viral replication.
Throughout his career, Stahl remained dedicated to education and mentorship. He was known for his clear and engaging lectures, inspiring countless students to pursue careers in science. His lab at the University of Oregon became a hub for innovative research, attracting scientists from around the world. Stahl fostered a collaborative atmosphere, encouraging open discussion and rigorous experimentation. He instilled in his students a commitment to scientific integrity and a passion for unraveling the mysteries of life. His influence extends far beyond his own research contributions, shaping the careers and perspectives of generations of molecular biologists.
