	Joshua Lederberg
		Joshua Lederberg was awarded the 1958 Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology for his discovery of "sexual recombination" in bacteria (bacterial conjugation).
		Joshua spoke proudly of his parents; he considered his father an idealistic person and his mother "a heroic soul" who had to work extremely hard to keep the family together during his father’s prolonged illness.
		Lederberg showed that genetic material was exchanged by conjugation, a process by which cell to cell contact is required and which may result in the transfer of an entire complement of the bacterial chromosome.

		Lederberg studied under Tatum at Yale (Ph.D., 1948) and taught at the University of Wisconsin (1947-59), where he established a department of medical genetics.
		Scientists had previously thought that bacteria only reproduced asexually--i.e., by cells splitting in two; Lederberg and Tatum showed that they could also reproduce sexually, and that bacterial genetic systems are similar to those of multicellular organisms.
		Lederberg's discoveries greatly increased the utility of bacteria as a tool in genetics research, and it soon became as important as the fruit fly Drosophila and the bread mold Neurospora.
