Focusing on the intermediary metabolism of carbohydrates, the Cori discovered glucose-1-phosphate (Cori ester) and the cyclic nature of glycogen breakdown and re-formation (Cori cycle). They were pioneers in the study of both enzymes and hormones, and their work had major implications throughout science and medicine. In 1947, Gerty and Carl Cori were awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. Besides themselves, their lab produced six Nobel Prize winners. After emigrating, Cori became an assistant pathologist at the State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases in Buffalo, New York. She then held the positions of fellow and research associate in pharmacology and biochemistry at Washington University School of Medicine. In 1944, she became associate professor of pharmacology, and in 1947 achieved the rank of full professor in the Department of Biological Chemistry. Cori was the recipient of many additional awards and prizes, including election to the National Academy of Sciences. In 1952, President Harry S. Truman named her to the National Science Board of the National Science Foundation.

Extractions: US biochemists born in Austro-Hungary who, together with Argentine physiologist Bernardo Houssay (1887-1971), received a Nobel prize 1947 for their discovery of how glycogen (animal starch) - a derivative of glucose - is broken down and resynthesized in the body, for use as a store and source of energy. Both were born in Prague and married while studying at the medical school there. They emigrated to the USA 1922, and in 1931 Carl Cori was appointed professor of biochemistry at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, Missouri. Gerty Cori also worked there, becoming professor 1947. Carl Cori remained at St Louis until 1967, when he moved to Harvard Medical School. Glycogen is broken down in the muscles into lactic acid, which, when the muscles rest, is reconverted to glycogen. In the 1930s the Coris set out to determine exactly how these changes take place. Gerty Cori found a new substance in muscle tissue, glucose-1-phosphate, now known as Cori ester. Its formation from glycogen involves only a small amount of energy change, so that the balance between the two substances can easily be shifted in either direction. The second step in the reaction chain involves the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate into glucose-6-phosphate. Finally this second phosphate is changed to fructose-1,6-diphosphate, which is eventually converted to lactic acid. The first set of reactions from glycogen to glucose-6-phosphate is now termed glycogenolysis; the second set, from glucose-6-phosphate to lactic acid, is referred to as glycolysis.

Extractions: Christiane Nusslein-Volhard Biology is the scientific study of living things. There are more than 10 million species of living things on the earth. They range in size from microscopic bacteria to huge blue whales and towering redwood trees. Living things also differ greatly in where and how they live. However, all forms of life share certain characteristics that set them apart from nonliving things. These characteristics include the ability to reproduce, to grow, and to respond to changes in the environment. Traditionally, biology has been divided into two major fields. Botany deals with plants, and zoology with animals. Botany and zoology are further divided into various branches and specialized areas of study. But most branches of biology for example, anatomy (the study of the structure of living things) and genetics (the study of heredity) apply to both plants and animals. Biological research has greatly affected people's lives. For example, farm production has soared as biologists have helped develop better varieties of plants and new agricultural techniques. Discoveries in biology have enabled physicians to prevent, treat, or cure many diseases. Research on the relationships between living things and their environment has helped in the management of wildlife and other natural resources.

Extractions: Illustration by Art Seiden by Seymour "Sy" Brody Dr. 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. She was the oldest of three daughters of Martha and Otto Radnitz, manager of a sugar refinery. The family was Jewish and she was educated by private tutors. At age sixteen and influenced by her uncle, who was a professor of pediatrics at the University of Prague, Cori decided to study medicine. She graduated with a medical doctor's degree in 1920. When she was attending medical school, she met Carl Ferdinand Cori, a fellow student. They both shared many common outdoor activities and they both had a curious interest in laboratory research. They were married on August 5, 1920, and accepted positions at the University of Vienna. They decided to pursue careers in medical research, rather than medical practice. In 1922, they both emigrated to the United States to join the staff of Buffalo's New York Institute of Malignant Diseases. He became an assistant pathologist and she was appointed as an assistant biochemist. Thev both became United States citizens in 1928 and in 1936, they had their only child, Carl Thomas. While at Buffalo, they concentrated on studying the absorption of sugars from the intestines and the effects of insulin epinephrine on the fate of absorbed carbohydrates and or glycerin formation and degradation.

Extractions: American biochemists, husband-and-wife team whose discovery of a phosphate-containing form of the simple sugar glucose, and its universal importance to carbohydrate metabolism, led to an understanding of hormonal influence on the interconversion of sugars and starches in the animal organism. Their discoveries earned them (with Bernardo Houssay) the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1947. They met while students at the German University of Prague and were married in 1920, receiving their medical degrees the same year. Emigrating to the United States in 1922, they joined the staff of the Institute for the Study of Malignant Disease, Buffalo, N.Y. (1922-31). As faculty members of the Washington University medical school, St. Louis (from 1931), they discovered (1936) the activated intermediate, glucose 1-phosphate (phosphate bound to a specific carbon atom on the glucose molecule), known as the "Cori ester." They demonstrated that it represents the first step in the conversion into glucose of the animal storage carbohydrate glycogen, large quantities of which are found in the liver, andbecause the reaction is reversiblein some cases the last step in the conversion of blood glucose to glycogen. Six years later they isolated and purified the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the glycogen-Cori ester reaction, and with it they achieved the test-tube synthesis of glycogen in 1943. Proof of the interconversion allowed them to formulate the "Cori cycle," postulating that liver glycogen is converted to blood glucose that is reconverted to glycogen in muscle, where its breakdown to lactic acid provides the energy utilized in muscle contraction. The lactic acid is used to re-form glycogen in the liver. 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 favouring 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.

Zehn Jahre später starb sie - anerkannt und hoch geehrt - an Myelofibrose, einer seltenen Erkrankung mit bindegewebiger Verödung des Knochenmarks. Obwohl die letzten Jahre von der Krankheit gezeichnet, war sie ihrer Lebensphilosophie immer treu geblieben: "Ich glaube, dass die Wunder des menschlichen Geistes in Kunst und Wissenschaft zum Ausdruck kommen, und ich sehe zwischen beiden keinen Gegensatz.

Dank ihres wohlhabenden Elternhauses erhält sie eine gute Schulbildung: Privatlehrer, Mädchen-Lyzeum und einen Gymnasialabschluss. 1914 - 1920 Medizinstudium an der deutschen Universität in Prag. Während des Studiums lernt sie ihren späteren Ehemann Carl Ferdinand Cori kennen, den sie 1920 heiratet. Im selben Jahr schließt Gerty ihr Studium mit dem medizinischen Doktorgrad ab. 1920 - 1922 Fachärztinausbildung an einer Wiener Kinderklinik. Es zeigt sich, dass sowohl für Gerty als auch Carl Cori die Arbeit in der Forschung interessanter und herausfordernder ist als die klinische Medizin. Die desolate wirtschaftliche Situation Europas nach dem 1. Weltkrieg bietet allerdings für Forschungsarbeiten keine Perspektive. 1922 Auswanderung der Coris in die USA, nach Buffalo (Bundesstaat New York), wo Carl eine Forschungsstelle am State Institute for Study of Malignant Diseases angeboten wird.
