  Jacques Monod
As a child, Jacques Monod enjoyed climbing rocks and collecting fossils, but by adolescence he was frustrated that no-one could plausibly explain how life works.
Monod was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, sharing the honor with André Lwoff and François Jacob for "discoveries concerning the genetic regulation of enzyme and virus synthesis".
During World War II Monod was active in the French resistance, rising to chief of operations for the French Forces of the Interior.

 Jacques Lucien Monod Biography | World of Genetics
Jacques Monod was born in Paris, on February 9, 1910.
Although there was a direct correlation between the amount of food Monod fed the bacteria and their rate of growth, he also observed that in some colonies of bacteria, growth spread over two phases, sometimes with a period of slow or no growth in between.
When Monod brought the finding to Lwoff's attention in the winter of 1940, Lwoff suggested that Monod investigate the possibility that he had discovered a form of enzyme adaptation, in that the latency period represents a hiatus during which the colony is switching between enzymes.

Monod in particular recalls Monsieur Dor de la Souchère, well known as the founder and curator of the Antibes museum.
Although Monod remembers nothing of the Greek grammar studied under him, the admiration which he soon developed for this highly cultured and worthy man was of the greatest spiritual benefit for him as a youngster.
Monod came to Paris in 1928 to begin his higher education, and registered at the Faculty for a degree in Natural Sciences, not realising (as he later found out) that this course was then some twenty years or more behind contemporary biological science.

 Chance and Necessity (Jacques Monod) - book review
Jacques Monod's Chance and Necessity is one of my favourite works on the philosophy of biology.
But Monod's work is one of the most original attempts to work out the philosophical implications of the modern synthesis in biology, and deserves more attention.
Monod also devotes a chapter to considering some of the issues at the frontiers of biology, from the origins of life to the nature of perception.

 1961 - François Jacob & Jacques Monod & Marshall Nirenberg
In 1958 Jacob began collaborating with Jacques Monod and Arthur Pardee on the control of bacterial enzyme production, research that culminated in a greatly increased understanding of the regulation of gene activity.
In 1960 Jacob and Monod proposed the existence of the operon, consisting of an operator gene and structural genes that code for the enzymes needed in a given biosynthetic pathway.
Jacob and Monod received the 1965 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine for this research, sharing the award with Lwoff.

 Jacques Monod and theistic evolution
Jacques Monod was noted for his contributions not only in his field of molecular biology, but also in philosophy.
Monod: If we believe in a Creator—if we feel the need for this belief—it is basically for moral reasons, in order to see a goal for our own lives.
Monod: If you want to assume that, then I have no dispute with it, except one (which is not a scientific dispute, but a moral one).

 Conférences Jacques Monod
The Jacques Monod Conferences focus on new topics and recent advances in the various fields of pure biology and its applications in biotechnology, health, agronomy, and related industries, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches.
Their goal is to offer each scientist who participates in them the opportunity and time for serious discussions with groups of colleagues, in order to facilitate exchanges of ideas and the planning of collaborative projects among teams and laboratories from different countries.
Adherence to these organizational principles, which have been adopted for all the CNRS Jacques Monod Conferences, is a decisive factor in the success of these meetings.

 Book review of Jacques Monod
But Monod actually begins by showing that the difference between natural and artificial things is illusory, as natural things are also built for a purpose.
Monod comments: "Man knows at last that he is alone in the universe's unfeeling immensity out of which he emerged only by chance".
Monod's "chance" could simply mean "environment" (which even leaves open the possibility of the superenvironment of a god influencing all systems).

They postulated that the messenger carries the "information" encoded in the base sequence to ribosomes, the sites of protein synthesis; here the base sequence of the messenger RNA is translated into the amino acid sequence of a proteinaceous enzyme (biological catalyst).
In advancing the concept of gene complexes that they called operons, Jacob and Monod postulated the existence of a class of genes that regulate the function of other genes by affecting the synthesis of messenger RNA.
Monod's book-length essay Le Hasard et la necessite (1970; Chance and Necessity) expressed his view that the origin of life and the process of evolution are the result of chance.

One reads this short essay for enlightenment and stimulation; it is also shocking and crushing in its evaluation of the animisms(Monods word for religions) that have ruled human thought and behaviour.
In a rational precise path, Monod leads the reader to realise that the only right way to perceive life is to accept the ultimate truth: its all nothing but a game of dice by nature.

 The Infidels - Jacques Monad
Jacques Lucien Monod was a French biologist and a Nobel Prize Winner in Physiology or Medicine in 1965.
The experimental system used by Jacob and Monod was a common bacterium, E. coli, but the basic regulatory concept (described in the Lac operon article) that was discovered by Jacob and Monod is fundamental to cellular regulation for all organisms.
The key idea is that E. coli does not bother to waste energy making such enzymes if there is no need to metabolize lactose, such as when other sugars like glucose are available.

The discovery of messenger RNA (mRNA) by Sydney Brenner (1927-), Francis Crick (1916-), Francois Jacob (1920-) and Jacques Monod (1910-1976).
In previous experiments, Monod had learned how to genetically manipulate the compounds that control sugar metabolism in E. coli—collectively known as the B-galactosidase system.
As it was finally understood, several types of RNA represent a basic division of labor in protein synthesis.
