Person
David Baltimore
Biologist who co-discovered reverse transcriptase in 1970.
He was an American biologist (1938–2025) specialized in virology and immunology. He conducted his research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and at the Salk Institute.
He is recognized for independently discovering, together with Howard Temin, reverse transcriptase in 1970, a finding for which both received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1975.
The video places his discovery in 1970 and describes it as a finding so disruptive, involving an enzyme no one believed possible, that it earned him the Nobel Prize five years later.
