Jacques Mering
Jacques Mering (3 January 1904 - 29 March 1973) was a Russian-born, naturalised French engineer well known in the fields of X-ray crystallography and mineralogy. He earned the degree of Diploma in Electrical Engineering (''Diplôme d'Ingénieur en Génie Electrique'') from École Spéciale des Travaux Publics, and Bachelor of Science (''Licencié de Sciences'') from Faculté des sciences. He served in the French Army for a year during 1931-1932 following conscription. He was Director of Research at the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS; the French National Centre for Scientific Research) in Paris, and subsequently Director of CNRS Laboratory in Orléans.
Perhaps, Mering is best remembered for his inspiration and influence on the British chemist Rosalind Franklin, whom he trained in X-ray crystallography. Franklins' X-ray crystallographic image, popularised as Photo 51, became the single piece of clue for the discovery of the double-stranded helical structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.
== Biography ==
Mering was born in Vilkaviškis, Russia, to a Jewish family. After formal education in Russia, he went to France in 1921 to study engineering. In 1925 he obtained the degree of ''Diplôme d'Ingénieur en Génie Electrique'' from École Spéciale des Travaux Publics in Paris. He joined the Faculté des sciences in Paris as research engineer in 1925, and at the same time enrolled in the institute for the course of ''Licencié de Sciences''. He graduated in 1928. He continued to work as research engineer till 1931. In the late 1920s he trained for X-ray crystallography under Marcel Mathieu (who was trained in 1925-1926 under the Nobel laureate crystallographer William Henry Bragg at the Royal Institution in London). In 1930 he became a naturalised French citizen. Around 1931-1932 he was drafted to military service in the French Army. After conscription he joined Laboratoire Central des Services Chimique de l'Etat (now Institut National de Recherche Chimique Appliquée), first in Montpellier, then Grenoble (now under Joseph Fourier University), and finally in Paris. At Grenoble he carried out his research as a refugee during World War II, and he set up the first X-ray laboratory there. He returned to Paris after the war in 1945. In 1959 he became Director of Research at the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). In 1969 Director of CNRS Laboratory for Research on Imperfect Crystalline Solids in Orléans, where he worked until his death.〔
Mering died on 29 March 1973 after several months of severe illness.〔
