Life

Kelly earned a BA , Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore , Maryland. in biophysics and an MD ( professional doctorate ). In 1972 he became a member of the faculty at Johns Hopkins University, where he last worked as director of the Institute for Molecular Biology and Genetics - as the successor to Daniel Nathans - and recruited, among others, the later Nobel Prize winner Carol Greider .

Act

Kelly is considered to be one of the most important researchers into DNA replication in eukaryotes , especially with regard to the initiation and control of this process. Various mammalian viruses served as model organisms . He later developed widely used in vitro systems for full replication of adenoviruses and simian virus 40 .
