A list of references is given along with additional WWW sites to further your exploration into the life and work of this chemist. Gertrude Belle Elion was an industrial biochemist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1988 for the development of the antiviral drug acyclovir for cancer treatment. A daughter of immigrants from central Europe, she was born in New York City on January 23, 1918. In high school Elion earned very high grades and so was admitted to Hunter College, the women's section of the City College of New York. Despite economic hardships, she graduated from Hunter College in 1937 with highest honors. It wasn't until 1942 that Elion was able to secure laboratory positions, both of which turned out to be temporary. In 1944 she was hired by Burroughs Wellcome Company (later to be Glaxo Wellcome), which specialized in pharmaceuticals. She and George Hutchings worked together, basing their research on a knowledge of basic biochemical and physiological processes, rather than the trial and error methods being used at the time. For this work they won the Nobel Prize. During her time at Burroughs Wellcome Company, Elion also developed drugs for leukemia treatment (6-MP), organ transplants (Imuran), and AIDS (AZT)40 patents bear her name. In addition to the Nobel Prize, Gertrude Elion received the Garvan Medal in 1968 and the National Medal of Science in 1991. She retired from Glaxo Wellcome in 1983. Gertrude Belle Elion died on February 21, 1999 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Dr. Xiong earned his doctorate in molecular biology in 1989 at the University of Rochester, in Rochester, New York, where he stayed one year as a postdoctoral fellow. He then moved to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, where he began his work on the mammalian cell cycle and evolutionary analysis of retrotransposeable elements as a post-graduate fellow under the tutelage of Dr. David Beach, Ph.D. Dr. Xiong researched in Cold Spring Harbor until 1993 when he began his Assistant Professorship at Lineberger Cancer Center in Chapel Hill. The AACR is pleased to sponsor this annual award for young investigators in the name of the late Gertrude B. Elion, D.Sc., Nobel Laureate, distinguished Past President and Honorary Member of the AACR. The research award is supported by an educational grant from Glaxo Wellcome Oncology in honor of Dr. Elion who was Scientist Emeritus at Glaxo Wellcome until her sudden death in February 1999.

    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."

    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.

    Extractions: Academic Leaders Meet in North Carolina On Saturday, February 20, the Radcliffe College Alumnae Association (RCAA), in partnership with the Harvard Clubs of the Carolinas, hosted regional alumnae/i and guests at a luncheon and program with distinguished academic leaders. The event, "A Presidential Summit: Academic Truths Beyond Trends and Traditions," was held at the Carolina Club, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Karen Edwards '78, Harvard Alumni Association regional director for the Carolinas, played a key role in organizing this landmark event, which more than two hundred people attended. The panel discussion featured four pioneers who, through their leadership and by example, have set standards that have surpassed the constraints of gender and that inspired younger generations. The panelists were Molly Corbett Broad, president of the University of North Carolina; Marye Anne Fox, chancellor of North Carolina State University; Pamela B. Gann, dean of the Duke University School of Law and president elect of Claremont McKenna College; and Linda S. Wilson, president of Radcliffe College. Jean Gaillard Spaulding, MD, vice chancellor for health affairs at Duke University Medical Center, introduced the panelists, who spoke on six topics: academic vision, affirmative action, public education, technology and ethics, career path, and job satisfaction. A question-and-answer period followed.

    Extractions: Click here to break out of Frame Tribute by Ronald J. Riley I am very sorry that inventor Gertrude B. Elion died Sunday, February 21, 1999. She was awarded the Nobel and inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame for inventions related to treatment of leukemia, herpes, and immunity disorders. Dr. Elion was one of 31 Nobel recipients who joined with inventors to defeat so called "patent reform", changes in patent law which were promoted by the same companies who have a long history of treating inventors poorly. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Elion numerous times. She attended the MIT/Lemelson awards annually since it's inception, and I also met with her at the National Inventors Hall of Fame inductions. She was a great role model for young women. My 13 year old daughter (Meghan) met Elion last year (1998) and I think it made a lasting impression on Meghan. She worked tirelessly to promote innovative thinking in generations who came after her, giving of her time selflessly to encourage successive generations to reach for their full potential.
