Rosalind Franklin
Rosalind Franklin (born July 25, 1920, London, England—died April 16, 1958, London) was a British scientist best known for her contributions to the discovery of the molecular structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (), a constituent of chromosomes that serves to encode genetic information. Franklin also contributed new insight on the structure of viruses, helping to lay the foundation for the ...
Rosalind Franklin
Franklin's father, Ellis Arthur Franklin (1894-1964), was a politically liberal London merchant banker who taught at the city's Working Men's College, and her mother was Muriel Frances Waley (1894-1976).Rosalind was the elder daughter and the second child in the family of five children. David (1919-1986) was the eldest brother while Colin (1923-2020), Roland (1926-2024), and Jenifer ...
The structure of DNA: How Dr Rosalind Franklin contributed to the story
The discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953 was made possible by Dr Rosalind Franklin's X-ray diffraction work at King's. Her creation of the famous Photo 51 demonstrated the double-helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid: the molecule containing the genetic instructions for the development of all living organisms.
Rosalind Franklin's Overlooked Role in the Discovery of DNA ...
Rosalind Franklin was a chemist and X-ray crystallographer who studied DNA at King's College London from 1951 to 1953, and her unpublished data paved the way for Watson and Crick's ...
Photo 51 and the discovery of DNA's structure
As a research scientist at King's, Dr Rosalind Franklin captured the famous 'Photo 51', demonstrating the X-shaped pattern of DNA molecules. ... Her name is also immortalised by King's Franklin Wilkins Building at Waterloo Campus, as well as The Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in Chicago. Her work provided the basis for ...
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA's
How Rosalind Franklin was let down by DNA's dysfunctional team. One of us (N.C.) is writing a biography of Watson, the other (M.C.) is writing one of Crick. ... (X-ray diffraction experiments in ...
Discovery of a Lifetime
Rosalind had left King's College a few months before Nature reported the groundbreaking discovery of the structure of DNA. In search of collaboration and a more supportive research environment, she went to work for the Biomolecular Research Laboratory at Birkbeck College, also in London.

Photograph 51, by Rosalind Franklin (1952)
On 6 May 1952, at King's College London in London, England, Rosalind Franklin photographed her fifty-first X-ray diffraction pattern of deoxyribosenucleic acid, or DNA. Photograph 51, or Photo 51, revealed information about DNA's three-dimensional structure by displaying the way a beam of X-rays scattered off a pure fiber of DNA. Franklin took Photo 51 after scientists confirmed that DNA ...
