THE FACE BEHIND THE NAME.
ROSALIND FRANKLIN IS CURE51 MAIN SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND AUTHOR OF THE PHOTO 51 WHICH PROVIDED CLEAR AND DIRECT EVIDENCE FOR THE HELICAL STRUCTURE OF DNA.
PHOTO 51 IS CONSIDERED A “BREAKTHROUGH IMAGE” AND IS NOW RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PHOTOGRAPHS IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY.
Rosalind Franklin
Cliché 51
first photography of the human DNA
Shot on the 06th of May 1952 by Rosalind Franklin, was the first photography of the human DNA. A glimpse of the origin of the world, the book of life.
The genetic material encapsulated into Cliché 51 connects all living things and the image thus metaphorically captures human past, present, and future.
Hence, Cure51 and the Rosalind Study.
