Rosalind Franklin
Rosalind Elsie Franklin was a British physical chemist and crystallographer. Her research focuses on the structure of substances such as DNA, viruses, coal and graphite. Among them, the DNA crystal diffraction image "Photograph No. 51" she took, as well as related data about this substance, became the key clues for James Watson and Francis Crick to solve the structure of DNA. Since then, she has also led research on tobacco mosaic virus and poliovirus.
