Rosalyn Sussman Yalow

Rosalyn Sussman Yalow graduated from Hunter College and was the first woman to graduate physics (Bauman et. Al. 2011). She also led a way to accept and understand the role of women in American science (Bauman et. Al. 2011). She even urged Mildred Dresselhous, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and chairman and officer of many associations, including the American Science Promotion Association, to pursue the career she wanted (Bauman et. al. 2011). Rosalin was born on July 19, 1921 in Clara and Simon Sossman, New York (Brody 1996).

With the movement of women in the 1960s and 1970s, the reputation of Curie as an excellent scientist was outstanding. Physicist Rosalyn Yalow was an article written in the study of radioactive compounds when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1977, Curie was the source of her inspiration. Biographer tries to portray the glow and complexity of this extraordinary personality. A new play written by Alan Alda, actor and director, Radiance, focuses on her relationship with Pierre and Langewen and her science. New Graphic Novels, Radioactive: Mary and Pierre Curie: Lauren Leden's "The Story of Love and Radiation" explores Curie's life in the context of the influence of radiation on history.

The unexpected result of the experiment sometimes has a wide range of results. One example is the study by Roslyn Yarrow and Solomon Burson at the Bronx VA Medical Center opened up the field of radioimmunoassay. In the early 1950s, adult diabetic patients were found to have both insulin and circulating insulin. This seems strange; in the past, people were always thinking that all diabetic patients lack insulin. To explain the presence of diabetes in patients with pancreatic insulin, Yalow and Berson decided to study the rate at which insulin disappears from the blood of diabetic patients. For this purpose, they synthesized radioactive iodine-labeled insulin. It acts as a radioactive label making it easier to measure the presence of insulin in the blood. To my surprise, they discovered that diabetic patients' insulin disappears more slowly than non diabetic patients.

Using radioimmunoassay technology, MD Solomon Berson and Rosalyn Yalow developed a method to measure blood insulin. They realize that some diabetic patients are still making their own insulin and they recognize "insulin-dependent" (type 1) and "non-insulin-dependent" (type 2) diabetes . A 64K autoantibody associated with type 1 diabetes was identified. This protein, GAD or glutamic acid decarboxylase is an important enzyme involved in communication between brain cells and pancreatic cells. When the immune system attacks GAD, a progressive autoimmune reaction leading to diabetes is caused.
