James Watson and Francis Crick were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 for establishing the structure of DNA, specifically its double helix structure. Their work laid the foundation for understanding the genetic code and revolutionized the field of genetics.
When the Nobel Prize was awarded, she had already died of cancer, and the Nobel Prize is not awarded posthumously.
Rosalind Franklin passed away before the Nobel Prize was awarded for the discovery of the DNA structure. Additionally, the Nobel Prize is limited to a maximum of three recipients, so Watson, Crick, and Wilkins were awarded the prize for their work on DNA structure.
2 Reasons: 1) She had died of cancer before the nobel prize for the work on DNA was awarded and the rules of the nobel prizes state that each recipient must be alive for them to receive the prize. 2) her contribution went largely unrecognized until after Watson Crick and Wilkins were awarded the prize.
Linus Pauling is the scientist who proposed a triple helix structure for DNA with an extra strand. However, this model was later proven incorrect. Linus Pauling won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962.
No, Rosalind Franklin did not receive a Nobel Prize for her work on DNA structure. The Nobel Prize for the discovery of the DNA double helix structure was awarded to James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins in 1962. Franklin's contributions to this discovery were not acknowledged at the time.
No. The Nobel Awards were created long after his death.
Along with James Watson and Francis Crick, the co-winner of the Nobel Prize for the elucidation of the structure of the DNA was Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins. They shared the prize in 1962 "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material."

Ernest Rutherford was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements and the chemistry of radioactive substances.

Pierre and Marie Curie
The first scientist to receive a Nobel Prize was Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. He was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901 for his discovery of X-rays.
Albert Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the photoelectric effect, which laid the foundation for quantum theory.
Albert Einstein was awarded noble prize in 1921 for his explanation of photoelectric effect.
Rosalyn Sussman Yalow was a scientist. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1977.
