The discovery of DNA focused scientists' efforts and led to the research into genetics and heredity aimed at improving life on Earth today. Identification of DNA DNA's discovery can be traced to 1868, when Swiss medical student Johann Friedrich Miescher began work on isolating proteins from white blood cells.
Important contributions and data from Wilkins, Franklin (obtained via Max Perutz) and colleagues in Cambridge enabled Watson and Crick to propose a double-helix model for DNA. The third and longest phase of Wilkins' work on DNA took place from 1953 onwards. Here Wilkins led a major project at King's College, London, to test, verify and make significant corrections to the DNA model proposed by Watson and Crick and to study the structure of RNA.
