Robert W. M. N. Wilkins

Robert W. M. N. Wilkins was a distinguished British biophysicist known for his pioneering work in X-ray crystallography, which involves using X-rays to determine the detailed structure of biological molecules. His research provided critical insights into the molecular architecture of DNA, proteins, and enzymes, enhancing our understanding of their functions. Wilkins collaborated with other notable scientists, including Rosalind Franklin and James Watson, contributing to the discovery of the DNA double helix. His work has had a lasting impact on molecular biology and genetics, advancing the scientific foundation for many biomedical advances.
