Džejms D. Votson

Džejms D. Votson (engl. James Watson; 6. april 1928.) je američki molekularni biolog, genetičar, i zoolog. On je najbolje poznat po otkriću strukture DNK 1953. zajedno sa Fransisom Krikom. Votson, Krik, i Moris Vilkins su nagrađeni 1962. Nobelovom nagradom za fiziologiju ili medicinu „za njihova otkrića vezana za molekulsku strukturu nukleinskih kiselina i njihovog značaja za transfer informacija u živim materijalima“. Nakon studija na univerzitetu Čikaga i Indijana univerzitetu, on je radio na univerzitetu u Kembridžu u Kavendišovoj laboratoriji u Engleskoj, gde se upoznao sa budućim saradnikom i prijateljom Fransisom Krikom.
