Carl Ferdinand Cori (1896–1984) and Gerty Theresa Cori (1896–1957) were great scientific collaborators. The two spent their lives researching carbohydrates and the chemical reactions that the body uses to break down certain carbohydrates and synthesize others. They were especially interested in the class of carbohydrates known as sugars.
Gerty Cori was finally promoted to positions equal to her talent. At Washington University in St. Louis, she was appointed research associate in 1938 and associate professor of research in 1940. In 1947, the Coris earned the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine “for their discovery of the course of the catalytic conversion of glycogen.” On the heels of her worldwide recognition, the ...
Gerty Cori war die älteste Tochter von Martha und Otto Radnitz. Sie studierte von 1914 bis 1920 Medizin an der Deutschen Universität in Prag. Während ihres Studiums freundete sie sich mit Carl Cori an, den sie 1920, nach ihrem Studienabschluss, heiratete. Wie Carl interessierte sich auch Gerty mehr für die medizinische Grundlagenforschung als für die ärztliche Praxis.
Gerty Cori uncovered the process of cellular energy storage and release, answering one of the most fundamental questions about how the human body works. In so doing, she and her husband and lifelong research partner, Carl, transformed the study of biology, proving that the clarity of molecular chemistry could and should be applied to the opaque mechanisms of biology.
Gerty Theresa Cori war eine österreichisch-US-amerikanische Biochemikerin und Nobelpreisträgerin. Für ihren Beitrag zur Entdeckung des Glykogen-Metabolismus wurde sie 1947 als erste Frau mit dem Nobelpreis für Physiologie/Medizin ausgezeichnet.
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 ...
