Biologo svizzero, ha insegnato genetica molecolare dal 1959 al 1970 all'Università di Ginevra e nel 1971 si è trasferito all'Università Basilea dove insegna microbiologia. Le sue ricerche hanno principalmente riguardato il meccanismo di difesa della cellula batterica nei confronti dei virus e in generale i meccanismi che stimolano e limitano la variabilità dell’informazione genetica nei microorganismi. Nel 1978 ha ricevuto il Premio Nobel, insieme a Daniel Nathans e Hamilton O. Smith per la scoperta degli enzimi di restrizione e per le loro applicazioni ai problemi di genetica molecolare. Nel 1981 è stato nominato membro della Pontificia Accademia delle Scienze e nel 2010 ne è divenuto presidente.
