Frederick Griffith did
not receive the Nobel Prize. While his groundbreaking experiment on bacterial transformation in 1928 laid the foundation for the discovery of DNA as the genetic material, the Nobel Prize was awarded to others who built upon his work.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty in 1944 for their work identifying DNA as the transforming principle, building upon Griffith's findings.
