Carl Ferdinand Cori was born in Prague on December 5, 1896, trained as a biochemist and pharmacologist, and emigrated to the United States. Working alongside his wife Gerty Cori and Argentine physiologist Bernardo Houssay, he traced the molecular choreography of glycogen - the animal body's starch - showing how it breaks down and rebuilds to bank and release energy. The trio shared the Nobel Prize in 1947. In 2004, the American Chemical Society named both Coris a National Historic Chemical Landmark for cracking the code of carbohydrate metabolism. He died October 20, 1984.
