When the Nobel Prize was awarded, she had already died of cancer, and the Nobel Prize is not awarded posthumously.
Rosalind Franklin conducted the X-ray diffraction studies that provided critical data for the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick. Her work laid the foundation for understanding the molecular structure of DNA.
Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin's
Rosalind Franklin shared her work on the structure of DNA with colleagues Maurice Wilkins and Raymond Gosling at King's College London. However, her data was shown to James Watson and Francis Crick without her knowledge or permission, leading to their discovery of the double helix structure of DNA.
Rosalind Franklin's note to Maurice Wilkins announcing the "death of the helix" was referring to her discovery that DNA did not form a simple helical structure as previously thought. Instead, her research using X-ray diffraction showed a more complex structure, leading to the conclusion that DNA had a more intricate arrangement than initially proposed.
Watson and Crick used X-ray crystallography images taken by Franklin and Wilkins, as well as Franklin's research, which provided crucial data on the structure of DNA. Their model of DNA's double helix structure was largely inspired by Franklin's work and helped them formulate their groundbreaking discovery.
Albert Einstein was not involved in determining the structure of DNA. The scientists credited with this discovery are James Watson and Francis Crick, along with contributions from Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.

The answer (if you had formulated your question properly - where is the list of researchers you allude to?) would be Rosalind Franklin.
Rosalind Franklin did not receive the Nobel Prize for her research on the structure of DNA. Although her work was crucial in the discovery of the double helix structure, the Nobel Prize was awarded to James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins 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.

Rosalind Franklin had to rival Cavendish Laboratory scientist Francis Crick at Maurice Wilkins of King's College in 1953.

James Watson and Francis Crick elucidated the structure of DNA in 1953. Also useful in a sterochemical fashion was the X-ray diffraction work of Rosalind Franklin. Wilkins also contributed diffraction work.
