Rosalind Franklin

I am a chemist and X-ray crystallographer. My research science reveals the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal and graphite from the patterns X-rays leave on film.

The 10-second read

I read molecular structure from X-ray diffraction

I turn careful experimental science into structure: measurements first, models only once the data allow them.

My research ran from the physical chemistry of coal to the structure of DNA at King's College London and of plant and animal viruses at Birkbeck College.
