Historical Note

Carl Ferdinand Cori was born in 1896 in Prague (then located in the Austro-Hungarian Empire), the son of a noted Austrian biologist.  Cori began medical study in his native city, but this was interrupted by military service in World War I, during which he served as a medic on the Italian front.  While a student again after the war, he became engaged to a classmate, Gerty Theresa Radnitz.  The two were married in Vienna in 1920 shortly after receiving their medical degrees.  Both chose research careers, but it proved very difficult to find suitable positions in war-impoverished Austria.  In 1922, the Coris emigrated to the United States, where Carl took a position in Buffalo, at the State Institute for the Study of Malignant Disease (now Roswell Park Memorial Institute).

In 1931, Cori was appointed professor and chairman of the Department of Pharmacology at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.  He would later switch departments and become professor and chair of the department of Biochemistry in 1946.  Working with his wife Gerty, the Coris most notable contribution to science was their series of discoveries that elucidated the pathway of glycogen breakdown in animal cells and the enzymic basis of its regulation, now known as the Cori Cycle.

Provenance

The Carl F. Cori Papers were the gift of Anne Cori on April 27, 1985.
