In this Women’s History Month special, we delve into the extraordinary life and groundbreaking work of Dr. Gerty Cori, the first American woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Born into a Jewish family in Prague in 1896, Gerty overcame societal barriers to become a pioneering researcher alongside her husband, Carl Cori. Their collaborative efforts led to significant discoveries in glucose metabolism, including the elucidation of the Cori Cycle, a pivotal mechanism explaining how the body generates energy during intense exercise. Despite facing gender discrimination in academia, Gerty's perseverance and brilliance earned her and Carl the Nobel Prize in 1947. Today, we celebrate her enduring legacy and the profound impact of her research on diabetes treatment and our understanding of human physiology. Join us as we pay tribute to Dr. Gerty Cori, a trailblazing scientist whose contributions continue to inspire progress and compassion in scientific endeavors.
