Irving Geis

Irving Geis

Irving Geis (18 October 1908 - 22 July 1997) was an American hand-drawn molecular artist who worked closely with biologists. Geis depicts many structures of biological macromolecules, such as DNA and proteins, including the first crystal structure of myoglobin. He also served as a coauthor and illustrator of many biochemical books that were written by Albert Lehninger and Richard E. Dickerson.

Geis was born in New York City, and lived in Anderson, South Carolina for a time.
