Marianne Grunberg-Manago - biochemist

Marianne Grunberg-Manago (January 6, 1921 – January 3, 2013)

Marianne Grunberg-Manago was a biochemist, born in the USSR, but moved to France as a child. Her discovery of the first nucleic-acid-synthesizing enzyme in 1955 was the first important step in cracking the genetic code.

Grunberg-Manago was the first woman to direct the International Union of Biochemistry, and she was also the first woman to preside the French Academy of Sciences from 1995 to 1996.
