## Bio

Rosalyn Sussman Yalow was born July 19, 1921, and trained as a medical physicist at a time when laboratories barely admitted women. She developed the radioimmunoassay technique, a method using radioactive tracers to measure infinitesimal amounts of biological substances in blood and tissue. The breakthrough earned her the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, shared with Roger Guillemin and Andrew Schally. She was the second woman to win in that category, after Gerty Cori, and the first American-born woman to do so. Yalow died May 30, 2011, decades after the test she created became standard in hospitals worldwide.
