No one discovered genetically modified organisms. Such organisms are created by people working in laboratories. In 1953 it was discovered that DNA is the material that carries genes, the information that defines and structures each organism.

When such a modification is successful, the result is an organism that has been genetically modified - a genetically modified organism.
