Miroslav Radman

Radman is a co-founder of the Mediterranean Institute For Life Sciences located in Split, Croatia.

The SOS response hypothesis was put forward by Radman in 1970 in a letter sent to various researchers, and later published in 1974.

[5] In 2011 Radman won the FEMS-Lwoff Award, given out by the Federation of European Microbiological Societies, for his research of DNA repair mechanism in Deinococcus radiodurans.

He clarified the molecular mechanism that allows Deinococcus radiodurans to repair its fatally damaged DNA.

[6][7] Radman developed a methodology which enables direct visualization of horizontal gene transfer.
