Gerty Theresa Radnitz Cori by Seymour "Sy" Brody Dr. Gerty Theresa Radnitz Cori was the first American woman to receive the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology, in 1947, which was shared with her husband, Dr. Carl F. Cori, and Dr. B.A. Houssay of Argentina. Dr. Cori was born on August 15, 1896, in Prague, which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. She was the oldest of three daughters of Martha and Otto Radnitz, manager of a sugar refinery. The family was Jewish and she was educated by private tutors. At age sixteen and influenced by her uncle, who was a professor of pediatrics at the University of Prague, Cori decided to study medicine. She graduated with a medical doctor's degree in 1920. When she was attending medical school, she met Carl Ferdinand Cori, a fellow student. They both shared many common outdoor activities and they both had a curious interest in laboratory research. They were married on August 5, 1920, and accepted positions at the University of Vienna. They decided to pursue careers in medical research, rather than medical practice. In 1922, they both emigrated to the United States to join the staff of Buffalo's New York Institute of Malignant Diseases. He became an assistant pathologist and she was appointed as an assistant biochemist. They both became United States citizens in 1928 and in 1936, they had their only child, Carl Thomas. While at Buffalo, they concentrated on studying the absorption of sugars from the intestines and the effects of insulin epinephrine on the fate of absorbed carbohydrates and or glycerin formation and degradation.

Click on the links below to read about some influential female biologists: Joy Adamson Rachel Carson Jewel Cobb Gerty Cori ... Christiane Nusslein-Volhard Biology is the scientific study of living things. There are more than 10 million species of living things on the earth. They range in size from microscopic bacteria to huge blue whales and towering redwood trees. Living things also differ greatly in where and how they live. However, all forms of life share certain characteristics that set them apart from nonliving things. These characteristics include the ability to reproduce, to grow, and to respond to changes in the environment. Traditionally, biology has been divided into two major fields. Botany deals with plants, and zoology with animals. Botany and zoology are further divided into various branches and specialized areas of study. But most branches of biology for example, anatomy (the study of the structure of living things) and genetics (the study of heredity) apply to both plants and animals. Biological research has greatly affected people's lives. For example, farm production has soared as biologists have helped develop better varieties of plants and new agricultural techniques. Discoveries in biology have enabled physicians to prevent, treat, or cure many diseases. Research on the relationships between living things and their environment has helped in the management of wildlife and other natural resources.

Cori, Gerty Theresa Radnitz (1896-1957), biochemist Born in Prague, Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic), on August 15, 1896, Gerty Radnitz was educated in a girls' school and at the Realgymnasium of Tetschen before entering the German University of Prague in 1914. She graduated in 1920 with a medical degree and married a fellow student, Carl F. Cori. For two years she worked as an assistant in the Karolinen Children's Hospital in Vienna. In 1922 the Coris went to the United States, where both joined the staff of the New York State Institute for the Study of Malignant Disease in Buffalo, New York. There Gerty Cori was an assistant pathologist (1922-25) and an assistant biochemist (1925-31). The Coris became naturalized citizens in 1928. In 1931 they moved to Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, where they joined the department of pharmacology (1931-46) and later the department of biochemistry (from 1946); Gerty Cori held the post of research associate in both departments. Their discoveries brought the Coris the 1947 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine (shared with Bernardo A. Houssay of Argentina); Gerty Cori was the first American woman to receive a Nobel Prize in the sciences. In 1947 she was named professor of biochemistry at Washington University, a post she held for the rest of her life. From 1950 she sat on the board of directors of the National Science Foundation. The Coris' subsequent work led to the complete elucidation of the molecular structure of glycogen in 1952. Gerty Cori also contributed greatly to the understanding of glycogen storage diseases of children. She died in St. Louis, Missouri, on October 26, 1957.

Return German University of Prague LOCATION New York LOCATION Missouri Research: Biochemistry YEAR ACHIEVEMENT Dr. Gerty Cori was the first woman in America to receive a Nobel Prize in science. Gerty Theresa Radnitz Cori and her husband, Dr. Carl Cori, were the first married couple to receive a Nobel Prize in science. Gerty Cori was only the third woman ever to win a Nobel Prize, and was the first woman in America to do so. Gerty Cori was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1896, to Otto Radnitz and Martha Neustadt. Her uncle, a professor of pediatrics, encouraged her to attend medical school, and she was admitted to the German University of Prague, where there were only a few female students. She graduated with her M.D. degree in 1920, along with her classmate Carl Cori. They married soon after graduation, and were hired to work in clinics in Vienna. Realizing that Europe was heading for war, they began applying for work overseas. In 1922, they moved to Buffalo, New York, where Carl took a position at the State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases (later the Roswell Park Memorial Institute), and Gerty Cori was hired as an assistant pathologist. While at Roswell they were discouraged from working together, but did so anyway, devoting their efforts to how energy is produced and transmitted in the human body. Specializing in biochemistry, they began studying how sugar (glucose) is metabolized. The Coris decided to leave Roswell soon after publishing their work on carbohydrate metabolism, mainly because Roswell's primary focus was cancer research. But though they had developed the Cori cycle together, Carl Cori was the one to receive job offers at universities. Although faculty at the University of Rochester warned Gerty Cori that she might ruin her husband's career, the couple refused to stop working together. Both Cornell University and the University of Toronto refused to hire Gerty Cori even while they tried to persuade her husband to take up an appointment, so the couple moved to St. Louis in 1931, where Carl had been offered the chair of the pharmacology department at Washington University School of Medicine. Gerty Cori was offered a position as a research assistant, despite her partnership role in the discovery of the Cori cycle.

Cori, Carl (Ferdinand) and Gerty (Theresa, born Radnitz) US biochemists born in Austro-Hungary who, together with Argentine physiologist Bernardo Houssay (1887-1971), received a Nobel prize 1947 for their discovery of how glycogen (animal starch) - a derivative of glucose - is broken down and resynthesized in the body, for use as a store and source of energy. Both were born in Prague and married while studying at the medical school there. They emigrated to the USA 1922, and in 1931 Carl Cori was appointed professor of biochemistry at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, Missouri. Gerty Cori also worked there, becoming professor 1947. Carl Cori remained at St Louis until 1967, when he moved to Harvard Medical School. Glycogen is broken down in the muscles into lactic acid, which, when the muscles rest, is reconverted to glycogen. In the 1930s the Coris set out to determine exactly how these changes take place. Gerty Cori found a new substance in muscle tissue, glucose-1-phosphate, now known as Cori ester. Its formation from glycogen involves only a small amount of energy change, so that the balance between the two substances can easily be shifted in either direction. The second step in the reaction chain involves the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate into glucose-6-phosphate. Finally this second phosphate is changed to fructose-1,6-diphosphate, which is eventually converted to lactic acid. The first set of reactions from glycogen to glucose-6-phosphate is now termed glycogenolysis; the second set, from glucose-6-phosphate to lactic acid, is referred to as glycolysis.
