Dr. Rosalyn Sussman Yalow (1921-2011) was the first American-born woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Born in the Bronx, New York on 19 July 1921, Rosalyn Yalow grew up in a Jewish household in New York City. She attended the all-female Hunter College where she studied physics. During college, Yalow worked as a secretary for Dr. Rudolf Schoenheimer, a biochemist at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. She picked up a second part-time job and worked as a secretary for Dr. Michael Heidelberger, another biochemist at Columbia.

After graduating with a degree in physics in 1941, Yalow became a teaching assistant in physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. While there, she was the only woman among the department's 400 members. She earned her PhD in 1945.

After completing her PhD, Yalow joined the Bronx Veterans Administration Medical Center to assist with its radioisotope service and subsequently collaborated with Solomon Berson to develop radioimmunoassay (RIA), a radioisotope tracing technique that allows the measurement of tiny quantities of various biological substances in human blood, as well as other biologically active substances. Originally used to study insulin levels, the RIA technique has since been applied to myriad other substances, including hormones, vitamins, and enzymes, and used to screen blood donations for hepatitis virus and determine effective dosage levels of drugs and antibiotics, among other practical applications.

Yalow was the sixth individual woman (7th overall, after Marie Curie's two wins), and first American-born woman to win the Nobel Prize in a scientific field. She was the second woman in the world to win in the physiology or medicine category. The first was Gerty Cori.

In addition to the Nobel Prize, Yalow was the first female recipient of the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award (1976) and was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1988.

Dr. Rosalyn Sussman Yalow died on 30 May 2011 in New York, New York.

In 1598, following in the tradition of previous Popes, Pope Clement VIII ruled that no Christian could be treated by a Jewish Doctor, thus barring Christians from seeking treatment from any Jewish Physician. Bear in mind that virtually every Pope in history had had a personal Physician who was Jewish. In May 2020, the so-called 'Palestinian Leadership' ruled that no 'Palestinian' could be treated for COVID-19 using equipment sent by the UAE that had landed on Israeli soil. Bear in mind that virtually every 'Palestinian Leader' (or a member of their family) had at some point received potentially life-saving treatment in an Israeli Hospital. This is the vile hypocrisy of Antisemitism. COVID-19, like Ebola, Dengue, Smallpox and Sars before it, will eventually fade into the background, with a potential vaccine at hand to combat it should it reoccur. Sadly, there is no known cure (or vaccine) for Antisemitism. 80 years ago, it went unchecked, and killed over 6 million men, women and children. NEVER AGAIN * For those who are finding it difficult to read the (very long) list of Jewish Nobel Prize Winners in the Medical Field on our meme, here it is. A few people have asked why Jonas Salk, who discovered the Polio vaccine is not on the list. Sadly (and totally unjustly), Salk was never awarded a Nobel Prize :

Mildred S. Dresselhaus -- the celebrated MIT professor known as the "Queen of Carbon Science," whose research helped unlock the mysteries of carbon -- was born on this day in 1930. A member of the MIT faculty for 50 years, the solid-state physicist was the first woman to ever attain the rank of full, tenured professor at the university. Dresselhaus was also the first woman to win the National Medal of Science in Engineering and was known nationally for her work to develop wider opportunities for women in science and engineering. The author of eight books and 1,700 scientific papers, “Millie’s dedication to research was unparalleled, and her enthusiasm was infectious,” says Anantha Chandrakasan, head of MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering. “For the past half-century, students, faculty and researchers at MIT and around the world have been inspired by her caring advice... She made such a huge impact on MIT, and her contributions will long be remembered.”

Born to Polish immigrant parents in Brooklyn, New York in 1930, Dresselhaus originally intended to become a teacher, but Rosalyn Yalow -- who herself would go on to win a Nobel Prize in Medicine -- encouraged her to consider a career in physics. After studying under Nobel laureate Enrico Fermi at the Univeristy of Chicago, Dresselhaus came to MIT in 1960 and became a permanent member of the electrical engineering faculty in 1968. Over her long career, she made fundamental discoveries in the electronic structure of semi-metals; wrote a definitive text on fullerenes, the spherical molecules better known as buckyballs; and was especially well-known for her research on nanomaterials. When Dresselhaus was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2015, the White House described her as “one of the most prominent physicists, materials scientists, and electrical engineers of her generation.”

For decades, Dresselhaus, who died in 2017 at the age of 86, worked to advance greater gender equality in science and engineering. In 1971, she and a colleague organized the first Women’s Forum at MIT in 1971. Two years later, she received a Carnegie Foundation grant to continue exploring ways to encourage women in science and engineering. She also supervised more than 60 doctoral candidates, leaving her mark on the field for years to come. When she gave the keynote speech at 2015’s Rising Stars in EECS, a three-day workshop for female graduate students and postdocs, Dresselhaus focused on the importance of persistence, relating stories about her own graduate work with legendary physicist Enrico Fermi, whose program was notoriously difficult. “It was what you did that counted,” she said, “and that followed me through life.”
