	Gerty Theresa Radnitz Cori
		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 were discouraged from working together, but did so anyway, devoting their efforts to how energy is produced and transmitted in the human body.

	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".

		Carl and Gerty were born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, and met as students at the German University of Prague where they both earned medical degrees in 1920.
		Over the next few years the Coris demonstrated the existence of a new enzyme, polysaccharide phosphorylase, which catalyzes both the formation of glucose-1-phosphate from glycogen and the reverse reaction in which glucose-1-phosphate is incorporated into glycogen; they also succeeded in purifying the enzyme.
		The Coris were also noted for their work investigating the influence of various hormones on carbohydrate metabolism.
