Tu Youyou, an 84-year-old Chinese female scientist, was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology (生理学) or Medicine on Oct. 5. She found a medicine that cures the deadly disease called malaria(疟疾). Tu shared the prize with two scientists from the US and Japan. Tu is the first native Chinese person to get the Nobel Prize in natural science.
Tu found artemisinin (青篙素) in sweet wormwood(青篙) back in 1971. She spent the following years trying to improve the medicine. According to World Health Organization, about 200 million people suffer from malaria around the world, and about half a million die each year. Today, artemisinin is still the most useful medicine that fights against malaria.
When Tu joined the national research team to find the malaria medicine in the 1960s and the 1970s, things were hard. The team didn’t have advanced equipment then. Tu used to medicines by taking them herself. Tu’s team searched old Chinese medicine books by hand and tested over 2,000 traditional recipes (配方).
To do research, Tu also had to travel a lot. Once she returned to her family after six months away from home. Her little daughter didn’t recognize her and hid from the “strange woman”. However, Tu never complained. “ I feel rewarded when I see so many cured patients,” she said.
