Rosalind Franklin
She was born on July 25, 1920 in Notthin hill, London, UK.
- She was a biophysicist and X-ray crystallographer. She help the humanity by understanding the chemical structure of the DNA, RNA, virusses, coal, and graphite.
- By her discoveries. scientists could reserch about how the genes pass from parents to children
- Since she was a little girl she had amaizing skills, she attended to St Paul's Girls' School.
- She work as an assistant of reserch in the British Coal Utilisation Research Association.
- She did a PH.D in Cambridge University, The physical chemistry of solid organic colloids with special reference to coal was her work.
- When world war begun her house was a reffuge for jews.
- She went to Newnham College, Cambridge in 1938 to study chemistry and natural science.
- In 1953 she started her DNA reserch with Francis Crick and James D. Watson of the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge University.
- Then she started working in Birkbeck College studying the Tobaco Mosaic Virus with x-ray crystallography.
- In 1955 she had a paper published in the Tobaco Mosaic Virus, she discovered that all of it´s particles were all of the same lenghth.
- On April 16 of 1558 she died with 37 years old , she died of bronchopneumonia, secondary carcinomatosis, and ovarian cancer.
Her legacy was her legendary dicovery of the DNA that helped science to develop the knolage we have today.
