Extractions: A Lifeline (Throughout this page, click on highlighted footnote numbers for links to sites with more information.) In many profound ways, the story of the history of science is the story of people's lives. The development of chemotherapeutic agents owes much to Gertude Belle Elion. Elion's parents were immigrants to America, and she did not have the access to the traditional educational career leading to the doctoral degree that most highly successful scientists follow. Despite this, Elion had an extraordinary career in the chemical sciences and their applications to human health. Menu Early 1900s Moreover, she began her scientific career in the 1940s, the World War II era. This was a time when women at the cutting-edge of scientific research were quite rare, and this makes Elion's successes all the more remarkable. Her career spanned the decades from the 1940s through the 1980s, and throughout this time Elion witnessed significant strides women took to be included in the scientific enterprise. Her research accomplishments include six different drugs used to combat nine serious medical conditions including leukemia, organ transplants, viral herpes and AIDS. Early 1900s Elion's parents emigrated to United States, her father from Lithuania and her mother from the region of Russia that eventually became Poland. Her father worked his way through dental school at New York University. Her mother was a seamstress.

(profile at the time of induction in 1998) A recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, Dr. Gertrude B. Elion was scientist emeritus with Glaxo Wellcome Inc., in Research Triangle Park, N.C. After several years of laboratory work and teaching chemistry and physics, she joined Wellcome Research Laboratories in 1944 as a biochemist. She was later promoted to senior research chemist and assistant to the research director. In 1967, she was appointed head of the department of experimental therapy and continued in that position until 1983, when she retired and became scientist emeritus. Dr. Elion is credited with the synthesis and co-development of two of the first successful drugs for the treatment of leukemia (thioguanine and mercaptopurine), as well as azathioprine, an agent to prevent the rejection of kidney transplants and to treat rheumatoid arthritis. She also played a major role in the development of allopurinol for the treatment of gout and of acyclovir, the first selective antiviral agent against herpes virus infections. She was president of the American Association for Cancer Research and served as a Presidential appointee on the National Cancer Advisory Board. Dr. Elion was elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences, the Royal Society, the Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Inventors Hall of Fame, the National Women's Hall of Fame, and the Engineering and Science Hall of Fame.

Elion (1918-1999), with Wellcome Research Libraries in North Carolina, shared the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her "discoveries of important principles for drug treatment." She produced drugs for herpes, leukemia, malaria, gout and immune disorders and developed immune suppressants to overcome rejection of donated organs in transplant surgery. Elion, whose name appears on 45 patents , was the first woman inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Fine condition.

Extractions: When I first wrote a letter to Dr. Gertrude B. Elion in July of 1998 inviting her to come to speak at a poster session presented by the Association for Women in Science of CentralOhio, I did not expect much. I thought that, as a Nobel Laureate, she would have many invitations to choose from. At her age, I wondered if she did only a limited amount of travel. I guessed that our chances of getting her to come to Columbus, Ohio were not great. Two weeks passed and I heard nothing. I went away to a five-day conference at Mount Holyoke College and when I came back, I had a voice mail from Dr. Elion saying she would be glad to come and speak to us. I called her back, immediately. She apologized for not getting back to me sooner because she had been out of the country. I was awed by her - she was so totally unassuming. Whenever we talked, she spoke thoughtfully with a clear and cheerful voice. She said she would be delighted to come and would be interested in seeing the posters by the women scientists and chat with them individually. She mentioned her affection, "a warm spot in her heart", for The Ohio State University from where she received an honorary Doctor of Science in 1989. At a board meeting, the members of the Association for Women in Science were thrilled. After all, we were going to meet a rare breed of a woman scientist - a Nobel Laureate. Since 1901, the year the Nobel Prize was instituted, there have been over 300 men and only 9 women receiving the prize for Science or Medicine - a mere 3%. It is legitimate to ask, why so few? Sandra Harding, who writes about women in science from a feminist perspective has concluded, "women have been more systematically excluded from doing serious science, than from performing any other social activity, except perhaps, frontline warfare."
