Summary

[edit]
Description In 1977, Elizabeth Neufeld became the first woman NIH scientist to be elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Her research on how enzymes work in the body to store sugars, and what happens when people don’t have enough of these enzymes, was instrumental in developing diagnostic tests for what are called mucopolysaccharide storage disorders, which cause stunted physical and mental development and often an early death.
