A brave young woman who challenged convention, Rosalind Franklin was a true game-changer for modern biotech.
In 1962, three men – James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins – received a Nobel Prize for unlocking the secrets of DNA. It was the most important scientific find of the 20th century. But that is not the full story…
At the very foundation of this discovery was the work of pioneering crystallographer and molecular biologist Rosalind Franklin. She died four years before the Nobel Prize was awarded when she was just 37 years old.
In her short lifetime, Franklin had an extraordinary impact on modern biotechnology. Her research into the structure of coal, graphite, viruses and DNA revolutionised biology, medicine and agriculture.
Incredibly, the 1962 Nobel prize isn’t the only one Franklin stood to win. The research that Franklin was working on when she died led to a Nobel prize for her colleague, Aaron Klug, in 1982.
"Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated. Science, for me, gives a partial explanation of life.” – Rosalind Elsie Franklin, July 25, 1920-April 16, 1958
