Phage Course At Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Apart from direct collaborations, the main legacy of the phage group resulted from the yearly summer phage course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Beginning in 1945, Delbrück and others taught young biologists the fundamentals of phage biology and experimentation, instilling the phage group's distinctive math- and physics-oriented approach to biology. Many of the leaders of the emerging field of molecular biology were alumni of the phage course, which continued to be taught through the 1950s and 1960s.
