{{use dmy dates}} {{about|the DNA technician|the publishing executive|Victoria Wilson}}

Vicky Wilson was the technician who worked with Professor Sir Alec Jefferys on the discovery of DNA fingerprinting. Wilson made a significant contribution to the work.[1] and this was acknowledged by Jefferys in a speech at the University of Leicester[2],

I would also like to thank my technician at the time, Vicky Wilson, who saved DNA fingerprinting by rescuing a key ingredient of the technology that I had thrown into the bin in a fit of pique. She said, "No Alec, that's not a bright idea", and without realising it, rescued forensic DNA.
Wilson's role in the work was acknowledged by her inclusion on two academic papers about their work on the discover of DNA[3][4]

Wilson was portrayed by Lydie Rose Bewley in the 2015 docudrama "Code of a Killer".

Career

Wilson worked at the University of Leicester in Department of Genetics and Genome Biology as a technician until 1998 when she started work in the Division of Child Health, Obstetrics and Gynaecology in the School of Medicine at the University of Nottingham.

Awards

In 2015 Wilson was awarded the Lifetime Achievement award at the Higher Education Technician Summit for her pivotal role in the discovery of DNA fingerprinting.[5]
