In 1944, Rockefeller scientists Oswald T. Avery, Colin M. MacLeod and Maclyn McCarty made the landmark discovery that DNA is the molecule responsible for carrying genetic information. Sixty-five years later, dozens of colleagues, family members and admirers gathered in the first-floor lobby of The Rockefeller University Hospital, where a plaque commemorating that historical achievement was unveiled. The celebration, held on February 10, was the first in a series of events to celebrate the hospital’s centennial, which officially kicks off this fall.
