From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Briggs (December 10, 1911 — March 4, 1983) was a scientist who in 1952 together with Thomas J. King cloned a frog by nuclear transfer of embryonic cells. The same technique, using somatic cells, was later used to create Dolly the Sheep. Their experiment was the first successful nuclear transplantation performed in metazoans.
