	Rosalyn Yalow, Nobel Laureate: Her Life and Work in Medicine. By Eugene Straus
		Rosalyn Sussman, sometimes characterized as “Madame Curie of the Bronx,” was born on July 19, 1921 in New York City, as the only daughter and second child of uneducated, lower middle-class Jewish parents.
		Yalow was showered with numerous honors, including the prestigious Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award (the first woman to win it), which is often a precursor of the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, the National Medal of Science (the United States’ highest science award), and more than 50 honorary degrees.
		In 1991 Yalow retired from the VA Hospital at the mandatory age of 70.

		Yalow was accepted by the University of Illinois, and she arrived there in September 1941.
		At first at the VA hospital, Yalow had only an old janitor's closet to use as a laboratory, and since her field was so new, she often had to build her own equipment.
		Yalow and Berson noticed that diabetics who had been taking insulin for a long time kept the labeled insulin in their bodies longer than healthy people.

		The partnership of Yalow and Berson was considered to be brilliant: before Berson's death in 1972 it was assumed that they were in line for a Nobel Prize.
		The life of this eminent scientist was not without misinterpretation; Yalow was criticized for the way she raised her children and for her close relationship with Berson.
		Yalow structured her life so that she could be an excellent mother, wife and scientist with the minimum amount of fuss.

	Yalow, Rosalyn Sussman
		Rosalyn Sussman Yalow was awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1977 for her pioneering work in developing the technique known as radioimmunoassay (RIA), a method first applied to the measurement of concentrations in blood of the hormone insulin.
		Yalow and Berson understood that the binding of labeled insulin to a fixed concentration of antibody depends quantitatively on the amount of insulin present.
		Yalow received many honorary doctorates and awards in addition to her 1977 Nobel Prize (which she shared with Andrew Schally and Robert Guillemin).

	Rosalyn Yalow: Assaying the unknown
		Rosalyn Sussman Yalow grew up at a time when women were assumed to be less intellectually qualified than men and were given little access to scientific training.
		In 1950, Yalow left Hunter and accepted a full-time position with the VA. Soon after, she was introduced to Solomon Berson, a talented resident who joined the radioisotope unit and within four years became its chief.
		Yalow and Berson began their insulin research by attaching radioactive iodine to molecules of insulin derived from beef and injecting tiny amounts of the radioactive hormone into normal subjects and diabetics.

		Rosalyn and Soloman created a new technique called radioimmunoassay, or the RIA, “which allowed quantifying very small amounts of biological substances in body fluids using radioactive-labeled material.” They made it possible for doctors to diagnose conditions caused by very small changes in hormone levels.
		In 1968, Rosalyn Sussman Yalow became head of the radioisotope service at the Veterans Administration hospital and in 1969 she was named the head of the RIA reference laboratory.
		Rosalyn was a research professor at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine from 1968 to 1974, a service professor from 1974 to 1979, and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1975.

		Yalow emerges from these pages as brilliant, ambitious and driven in her professional life, rigid, humorless and cold-blooded on a personal level.
		According to her biographer, Yalow believes that women scientists should marry, rear children, cook and clean in order to be fulfilled; while pursuing her career, she had a son and daughter.
		Outside her family, though, Yalow could appear unfeeling; when Solomon Berson, the dazzling colleague with whom she shared dozens of important discoveries and prizes, died suddenly in 1972, her public display of grief surprised several onlookers.

		Yalow and Berson used RIA to show that adult diabetics didn’t always suffer insufficiency of insulin in their blood and that an unknown factor must have been blocking the action of insulin.
		Yalow renamed her laboratory the Solomon A. Berson Research Laboratory and she became its director.
		Rosalyn Yalow became the second woman of ever to win the Nobel Prize in medicine, in 1977.

		During the 1950s Yalow and Berson discovered the presence of insulin-binding antibodies in the plasma of insulin-treated patients.
		Later they studied human growth hormone, corticotrophin, parathyroid hormone and gastrin in the human body.
		The procedures developed by Yalow and Berson have lead to the diagnosis of diseases associated with hormonal excesses and/or deficiencies.

		In 1959, Rosalyn Sussman Yalow co-invented what is still one of the most significant methods of chemical analysis used in medicine: "radioimmunoassay" of human blood and tissue.
		Yalow returned to New York, where she taught physics to WWII veterans at Hunter College.
		In short, when Yalow accepted the Nobel Prize in Medicine for inventing RIA (1977), on behalf of herself and Berson, who had died five years earlier, the Committee called RIA the most valuable advance made in basic clinical research in the previous two decades.

		I had never heard of Yalow, but within a couple of pages I not only began to feel as if I had actually met her in person, and I found myself wanting to arrange a quick visit to New York next time I was due to cross the Atlantic.
		Yalow is the grande dame of radioimmunoassay techniques and is particularly known for her work on insulin and diabetes.
		At one point Yalow considered doing the same, but I suspect she wouldn't have been nearly as fulfilled as she obviously was as a scientist had she pursued that path.

		After graduating from Hunter in 1941, Rosalyn accepted a positon as a teaching assistant in the Physics department at the University of Illinois.
		In order to do so, Yalow knew that she would need to spend more time in the lab, so in 1950 she resigned from her position at Hunter College.
		But, in 1977, the seemingly imposible became tangible, as Rosalyn Sussman Yalow became the sixth woman ever to win a Nobel and the first woman recipient who had been born and trained in the United States.
