Maurice H.F. Wilkins

Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins was a New Zealand-born British physicist and molecular biologist who played a key role in the discovery of the structure of DNA. He worked closely with Rosalind Franklin at King's College London and used her X-ray diffraction images to help elucidate the double helix structure of DNA, resulting in a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962, which he shared with Watson and Crick.
