Cori, Gerty T. (Theresa) (b. Radnitz) (1896–1957) biochemist; born in Prague, Czechoslovakia. She received her M.D. in 1920, and married her classmate Carl Cori that same year. The couple moved to Vienna, where Gerty Cori investigated thyroid deficiency in children. Both Coris came to the U.S.A. to work at the State Institute for the Study of Malignant Disease (Buffalo, N.Y.) (1922–31). They moved to Washington University (St. Louis, Mo.) (1957), where they shared the 1947 Nobel Prize in physiology for their collaborations on glucose-glycogen metabolism. Gerty Cori went on to make major contributions to studies of inherited glycogen-storage diseases. She died in 1957 from myelosclerosis.
