A Legacy of Discovery

Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science was named after Dr. Rosalind Franklin. A pioneering British researcher, she revealed the building blocks of life to the world in 1952 when she captured "Photograph 51" of the "B" form of DNA while at King's College in London. Today our faculty, staff and 2,000+ students carry on her legacy of discovery through rigorous academics, pioneering research and innovative community service. We foster that environment through a unique, interprofessional education model, in which students in various health professions learn from and with each other to improve patient care. By embodying our namesake's traits of inquiry, diligence and academic excellence, Rosalind Franklin University continues to shape the future of health care.
