George Wells Beadle (October 22, 1903 – June 9, 1989) was an American scientist in the field of genetics.
During the early Cold War, Beadle was outspoken in his defense of colleagues under investigation for suspected Communist ties, and also worked on defining and publicizing the potential dangers of nuclear weapons-related radiation.
Beadle went on to serve as president of the University of Chicago from 1961-1968, helping—through fund-raising and recruitment—to re-establish its reputation as a top research university.

 PROFILE: George W. Beadle
Such were the accomplishments of Wahoo, Nebraska native George W. Beadle, whose career in the branch of biology known as genetics (the scientific study of heredity) and in college administration spanned the middle decades of the 20th century.
While at Cal Tech, Beadle obtained funds for research and construction needs in his division, received frequent requests for participation in the development of science policy, and was committed to the integrity of science and interests of the universities.
As for honors, Beadle was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1944, and received 11 awards, including the Albert Lasker Award in 1950 and the Nobel Prize in 1958 in physiology or medicine, the latter shared with Edward Tatum and Joshua Lederberg.

Beadle was born in 1903 on a 40-acre farm near Wahoo, Nebraska.
Beadle's high school teacher, Bess MacDonald, saw how bright Beadle was and encouraged him to go to college.
Although confused by the jargon of the "fly people" (he was a corn man, after all), he did adjust to the genetics of the fruit fly, eventually working with Sturtevant on the genetics of eye pigment mutants.

Beadle and Tatum isolated and characterized nutritional mutants: -They treated spores with X rays to induce genetic mutants -The mutants were crossed with a wild type strain (a strain that can grow on minimal medium, called a prototrophic strain or a prototroph) of the opposite mating type.
