At King's College he pursued, among other things X-ray diffraction work. It was his work, along with that of his assistant Rosalind Franklin that led James Watson and Francis Crick to deduce the structure of DNA in 1953; he went on to prove that the double-helical structure they proposed was indeed correct.
In 1962 he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Watson and Crick. He remains at King's College.
