Howard Martin Temin, an American geneticist and virologist, discovered reverse transcriptase in the 1970s while at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. This groundbreaking achievement led to him receiving the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1975, which he shared with Renato Dulbecco and David Baltimore. Temin’s work has significantly advanced our knowledge of genetic processes and has influenced further developments in virology and genetics.
