Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins was born at Pongaroa, New Zealand, on December 15th, 1916. His parents came from Ireland; his father Edgar Henry Wilkins was a doctor in the School Medical Service and was very interested in research but had little opportunity for it. At the age of 6, Wilkins was brought to England and educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham. He studied physics at St. John's College , Cambridge, taking his degree in 1938. He then went to Birmingham University , where he became research assistant to Dr. J. T. Randall in the Physics Department. They studied the luminescence of solids. He obtained a Ph.D. in 1940, his thesis being mainly on a study of thermal stability of trapped electrons in phosphors, and on the theory of phosphorescence, in terms of electron traps with continuous distribution of trap depths. He then applied these ideas to various war-time problems such as improvement of cathoderay tube screens for radar. Next he worked under Professor M. L. E. Oliphant on mass spectrograph separation of uranium isotopes for use in bombs and, shortly after, moved with others from Birmingham to the Manhattan Project in Berkeley, California, where these studies continued. In 1945, when the war was over, he was lecturer in physics at

Wilkins, Maurice (Hugh Frederick New Zealand-born British molecular biologist. In 1962 he shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Francis Crick and James Watson for his work on the molecular structure of nucleic acids, particularly DNA, using X-ray diffraction. Wilkins began his career as a physicist working on luminescence and phosphorescence, radar, and the separation of uranium isotopes, and worked in the USA during World War II on the development of the atomic bomb. After the war he turned his attention from nuclear physics to molecular biology, and studied the genetic effects of ultrasonic waves, nucleic acids, and viruses by using ultraviolet light. Wilkins was born in Pongaroa and studied in the UK at Cambridge. He became professor of biophysics at London 1970. Studying the X-ray diffraction pattern of DNA, he discovered that the molecule has a double helical structure and passed on his findings to Crick and Watson.

Wilkins, Maurice Hugh Frederick Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins est né à Pongaroa, la Nouvelle-Zélande, le 15 décembre 1916. Ses parents sont venus de l'Irlande; son père Edgar Henry Wilkins était un docteur dans le Service Médical Scolaire et a été très intéressé par la recherche, mais eu la possibilité pour cela. Wilkins est devenu l'Aide le Directeur de l'Unité de Conseil de Recherche Médicale en 1950 et le Sous-directeur en 1955. Un sous-département de Biophysique a été formé dans le Collège (université) du Roi et il y a été fait le Conférencier Honoraire. En 1961 un plein Département de Biophysique a été établi. Il a été élu F.R.S. en 1959, donné la Récompense (sentence) d'Albert Lasker (conjointement avec Watson et la Crampe) par l'Association de Santé publique américaine en 1960 et le Compagnon fait de l'Empire Britannique en 1962. Il a épousé Patricia Ann Chidgey en 1959; ils ont une fille Sarah et un fils George. Il trouve ses récréations dans sa collection (ramassage) de sculptures et dans le jardinage.

Dec. 15, 1916, Pongaroa, N.Z.), New Zealand-born British biophysicist whose X-ray diffraction studies of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) proved crucial to the determination of DNA's molecular structure by James Watson and Sir Francis Crick . For this work the three scientists were jointly awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine Wilkins, the son of a physician (who was originally from Dublin), was educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham, Eng., and St. John's College, Cambridge. His doctoral thesis, completed for the University of Birmingham in 1940, contained his original formulation of the electron-trap theory of phosphorescence and thermoluminescence. He participated for two years during World War II in the Manhattan Project at the University of California, Berkeley, working on mass spectrograph separation of uranium isotopes for use in the atomic bomb. Upon his return to Great Britain, Wilkins lectured at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. In 1946 he joined the Medical Research Council's Biophysics Unit at King's College, London. In 1955 he became its deputy director, and from 1970 to 1980 he served as the unit's director. There he began the series of investigations that led ultimately to his X-ray diffraction studies of DNA. He later applied X-ray diffraction techniques to the study of ribonucleic acid.

General Celebration of NZer's DNA Discovery Contribution Tuesday, 4 February 2003, 3:39 pm Press Release: Victoria University of Wellington The achievements of Maurice Wilkins, the scientist who was jointly awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his role in the discovery of the structure of DNA, will be marked at the site of his boyhood home in Wellington (Tuesday 11 February, 1-2pm) to celebrate the golden anniversary of the discovery. Professor Wilkins shared the Nobel Prize with Francis Crick and James Watson. A plaque (transcript follows) and double helix sculpture to honour Professor Wilkins, who counts himself as a New Zealander despite living in the United Kingdom since the early 1920s, will be unveiled by three visiting fellow Nobel Laureates. Professor Alan MacDiarmid, Wellington-born and educated at Victoria University, will be joined by fellow winners of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry —Professors Hideki Shirakawa and Alan Heeger — for the unveiling outside Victoria University's Murphy Building. The Murphy Building is built on the site of 30 Kelburn Parade, which was the family home of Wilkins. Professors MacDiarmid, Shirakawa and Heeger will be in Wellington to attend AMN-1 — an international conference on innovative materials and nanotechnology being organised by the Victoria University-hosted MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology.
