Rosalind Franklin, Christiane Nusslein-Volhard, Eric Wieschaus, John Gurdon, and Francoise Barre-Sinoussi. EDIT: I should probably explain why. Rosalind Franklin discovered the structure of DNA (Watson basically stole her shit). She would have gotten part of the Nobel Prize had she not died from ovarian cancer significantly in advance of the prize's awarding. Christiane Nusslein-Volhard and Eric Wieschaus got a Nobel Prize for embryological discoveries. John Gurdon got a Nobel Prize for figuring out how to make induced pluripotent stem cells. Francoise Barre-Sinoussi got a Nobel Prize for discovering HIV.
