  Oswald Avery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oswald Theodore Avery (1877-1955) was a physician, medical researcher and early molecular biologist.
Avery was one of the first molecular biologists and was a pioneer in immunochemistry, but he is best known for his discovery in 1944 with his co-worker Maclyn McCarty that DNA is the material of which genes and chromosomes are made.
Nobel laureate Joshua Lederberg stated that Avery and his laboratory provided "the historical platform of modern DNA research" and "betokened the molecular revolution in genetics and biomedical science generally."

Avery was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, but spent most of his life in New York.
Avery's work on transformation – a process by which heritable characteristics of one species are incorporated into another species – was stimulated by the research of F Griffith (1877–1941), who 1928 published the results of his studies on Diplococcus pneumoniae, a bacterium that causes pneumonia in mice.
Avery proved conclusively that DNA was the transforming principle responsible for the development of polysaccharide capsules in unencapsulated bacteria that had been in contact with dead, encapsulated bacteria.

Oswald Theodore Avery was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1877.
Avery, however, soon became frustrated with medicine’s inability to help his patients - most of whom were suffering from tuberculosis and pneumonia - and moved to medical research.
In 1944, Avery and his colleagues Colin MacLeod and MacLyn McCarty published a seminal paper in the Journal of Experimental Medicine reporting that the substance (i.e., the gene) that could transform one type of pneumococcus into another was deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Despite this seminal work, Avery's research has been overshadowed by better-known scientists such as Francis Crick, James Watson, and Maurice Wilkins-who elucidated the structure of DNA for which they won the Nobel prize in 1962.
Avery spent most of his research life at Rockefeller Institute where he also made important contributions to the understanding of the pneumococcus organism-a particularly virulent bacterium that caused lobar pneumonia.
At age 67, Avery made his most important discovery-when he identified DNA as the substance of the genes, in a seminal 1944 paper co-authored by Colin MacLeod and Maclyn McCarty, published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
