Clinton B. Rosenburg, Ph.D. was the head of the Chemistry Life Foundation, who had connections with Abstergo Industries.

Biography[edit | edit source]

In 1952, Clinton Rosenburg was hired by Abstergo Industries to closely observe Linus Pauling's work on his DNA structure research. He then reported his findings directly to the Director of Abstergo Chemical. On 14 August, he reported to the Director on Pauling's discovery of a structural model for deoxyribonucleric acid and his works on the triple-helix DNA structure, thinking it would be of great interest. He also suggested that Abstergo Chemical invest more into DNA sciences, as it was to be the science of the future.[1]

Nearly three decades later on 14 August 1984, Rosenburg wrote to the Director for the last time. In his letter he detailed his recent struggles, and stopped for a moment to theorize the Director might not have even existed at all. Rosenburg became bitter over having to work under Dr. Warren Vidic, calling him and his co-workers "nothing more than an assembly line". He then called Vidic's Animus Project "preposterous", and that in the three decades that had passed he had never found another triple-helix DNA sample. With that, Rosenburg ceased all contact with Abstergo.[2]

In 2016, Layla Hassan was given a copy of Rosenburg's first and last letters as part of her introduction package upon joining Abstergo's Historical Research Division.[3]
