Sir Edwin Mellor Southern FRS FRSE (born 7 June 1938)[4] is an English Lasker Award-winning molecular biologist, Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford and a fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. He is most widely known for the invention of the Southern blot, published in 1975[5] and now a common laboratory procedure.[6][7][8][9]
