He conducted an experiment involving 2 strains of the bacterium streptococcus pneumoniae. One of these strains was lethal to mice and oe was harmless. He found that mice that were given the heat-killed virulent or the living avirulent remained healthy while mice given a mixture of both died.

He experimented on a molecule from a cell nucleus, nuclein. He found out that it was made from hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous and there was a unique ratio of phosphorous to nitrogen.

This led to the discovery that DNA is the carrier of genetic information. He proved building on Griffith's work, that confirm DNA is the genetic material responsible for the transfer of traits.

They performed their experiments on bacteria infecting viruses called bacteriophages. They identified that when phages infect bacteria, they attach themselves to the outside of the bacterium and then replicate inside the cell.
