	Carl Ferdinand Cori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While at the Institute the Cori's research focussed on carbohydrate metabolism, leading to the definition of the Cori cycle in 1929, for which they received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1947.
		Gerty died in 1957, Carl married Anne Fitz-Gerald Jones in 1960.

	Gerty Cori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Her uncle, a professor of pediatrics, encouraged her to attend medical school, and she was admitted to the German University of Prague in 1914, at that time there where there were only a few female students.
		The Cori cycle is their explanation for the movement of energy in the body—from muscle, to the liver, and back to muscle.
		In 1947 Gerty Cori became the third woman — and first American woman — to win a Nobel Prize in science, the previous recipients being Marie Curie and Irène Joliot-Curie.

	Gerty Theresa Radnitz Cori (www.whonamedit.com)
		In 1931 the Coris accepted positions at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, where he became chairman of the Department of Pharmacology and she took a position as research associate in the department of pharmacology— at a token salary.
		In 1946 the Coris moved to the department of biochemistry at Washington university, and in 1947 Gerty Cori became full professor of biochemistry, the post she occupied at her death.
		Carl and Gerty Cori received the prize "for their discovery of the course of the catalytic conversion of glycogen", Bernardo Alberto Houssay "for his discovery of the part played by the hormone of the anterior pituitary lobe in the metabolism of sugar".

		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.

	Cori, Gerty Theresa Radnitz
		Studying the way in which hormones affect carbohydrate metabolism in animals, the Coris showed that epinephrine induces the formation of a type of phosphorylase enzyme favoring conversion of glycogen to activated glucose and that insulin causes the removal of sugar from the blood by promoting the addition of phosphate to glucose.
		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.
		Gerty Cori also contributed greatly to the understanding of glycogen storage diseases of children.

	Research on carbohydrate metabolism receives historical recognition
		Beginning in the 1920s, the Coris conducted a series of pioneering studies that led to the current understanding of the metabolism of sugars and which contributed to improved techniques to help control diabetes.
		Carl and Gerty Cori, who won the Nobel in Physiology or Medicine in 1947, observed what became known as the "Cori cycle," the process by which the body converts glucose into glycogen, the form in which sugar is stored.
		Carl Cori summed up the nature of their partnership in his remarks at the Nobel banquet in 1947: "Our collaboration began 30 years ago when we were still medical students at the University of Prague and has continued ever since.

		Gerty Cori appears on some Jewish lists, but not on others, and has been described as being only half-Jewish.
		McGrayne's account is based on interviews with more than a dozen of Cori's close friends and associates, with the details of her religious background obtained from interviews with Professor Viktor Hamburger and Ann Cori.
		According to McGrayne, Cori was Jewish, but converted to Roman Catholicism prior to her marriage to Carl Cori in order to lessen the objections of his family, who felt that marriage to a Jewish woman would doom his prospects for an academic career in Europe.

		Soon after receiving their medical degrees and marrying, they emigrated to the United States (1922), where they pursued their joint researches into the biochemical pathway by which glycogen, the storage form of sugar in liver and muscle, is broken down into glucose.
		As part of this work, they also elucidated the molecular defects underlying a number of genetically determined glycogen storage diseases.
		For these discoveries the Coris received the 1947 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.
