Biography Marguerite Maria Vogt was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1913, the second of two daughters to Oskar Vogt and Cécile Vogt-Mugnier. Her parents were neurologists at the Kaiser Wilhelm/Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Berlin. Her father, Oskar, also a neuroanatomist, was summoned to Moscow to examine Lenin's brain in 1925. Both daughters were directed by their parents into science at an early age. In the early 1930s, Marguerite's older sister, Marthe, was a neuropharmacologist, with a MD from University of Berlin and an additional doctorate in chemistry. In the 1930s with the rise of the Third Reich, Marthe eventually relocated to Britain to work at the National Institute for Medical Research. At age 14, Vogt wrote her first scientific paper on drosophilia, fruit fly mutations in embryo development. She went on to receive her MD from the University of Berlin at the age of 23 and continued research with Boris Ephrussi in Paris. By 1937, her parents were forced to leave Berlin by the Nazis, although with the help of the industrialist Krupps family, the elder Vogts established a small private research facility for brain research in the Black Forest near Neustadt, where Marguerite stayed until 1950. In 1950, she was offered a position at the California Institute of Technology to work with Max Delbrück, continuing her work on the structure and function of the ring gland and early homoeotic mutants. Delbrück later suggested she join Renato Dulbecco, then a young faculty member developing a culture method for the polio virus. Together they were able to successfully grow the poliovirus in vitro and plague purify it, an essential step for vaccine production. Vogt subsequently published the paper, "Virus-Cell Interaction with a Tumor-Producing Virus" (1960). In 1962, she and Dulbecco were recruited to the newly founded Salk Institute for Biological Studies, continuing her research on tumor-causing viruses. She was appointed as a research professor at the Salk Institute in 1973, an independent faculty level position. For the next thirty years, she continued to study viruses, leukemia, and the process of aging in cancer cells, largely aided by her colleague Martin Haas, a biologist and former student. Vogt's research collaboration with Dulbecco on how DNA tumor viruses replicate and transfer a virus's genetic material, supported the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine along with David Baltimore and Howard M. Temin. Although Vogt never received broad recognition for her research, her published papers are widely cited by prominent reseachers in the bioscience field. Vogt continued her daily research on cell immortalization at the Salk Institute well into her eighties, steadily funded by the National Institutes of Health. She published her last paper in 1998. In 2004, she was named Remarkable Woman of Marguerite Vogt Collection MSS 0688 2 California, as part of an exhibition at the California State History Museum in Sacramento. Marguerite Vogt died in July, 2007, in La Jolla, California. References cited: "Marguerite Vogt", Wikipedia.

  • Women Members of the Academies of Science - a Comparative Study with Special Consideration of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society from 1912 Until 1945
    Women Members of the Academies of Science - A comparative study with special consideration of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society from 1912 until 1945. Annette Vogt (Berlin)1 On June 20, 1948 the physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968) wrote to her younger colleague Berta Karlik (1904-1990) in Vienna after her election - as its first woman - to the Austrian Academy of Science: "Liebe Kollegin Karlik, ... Wenn meine Wahl zum korrespondierenden Mitglied der Wienerakademie diese Möglichkeit auch für andere Frauen eröffnet, so macht sie mich doppelt froh. Ich habe mich über diese Auszeichnung aufrichtig gefreut, alles was ein Band mit Österreich knüpft, gibt mir ein inneres Heimatgefühl, das ich trotz aller Freundlichkeit der Schweden (ich bin z. B. Mitglied aller 4 skandinavischen Akademien) hier nicht bekommen kann, weil ich zu alt war, als ich hierher kam, um mich ganz einzuleben."2 Lise Meitner was one of the most exceptional women scientists in the 20th century and belonged - mostly as their first woman member - (as Scientific 1 Lecture (17.6.00) on the International conference "The work of science", Berlin- Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften (BBAW), Berlin, 15.-17.6.2000. Thanks to Emma Spary (Cambridge) from the MPI for History of Science for her kindness to correcting my English. 2 Lise Meitner to Berta Karlik, 20.6.1948, in: Cambridge, Churchill College Archives, Meitner-Papers, MTNR 5/10, folder 2, Bl.11. ("Dear colleague Karlik, ... If my election as a corresponding member of the Academie in Vienna will open this possibility for other women scientists too then I would be doubly happy. I was delighted with this honor, every relation to Austria gives me a home feeling which I haven't here in spite of the kindness of the Swedes (for example I'm a member of all 4 Scandinavian Academies of Science), because I was too old when I came here to settle down completely.") Berta Karlik followed Lise Meitner indeed, becoming a corresponding member in 1954 and a full member in 1973 at the ÖAW in Vienna.

My brother did zoology, but you had to do three subjects in your first year, and then you specialised after that. And I was going to do zoology – I didn’t know what I was going to do with it in my second year – but Ruth Fowler, who is now Bob Edwards’ wife, wanted to do physiology. And I’d really hardly heard of physiology, and she wanted me to go along and see Catherine Hebb who was running the course for science students as opposed to medical students. So I went along and immediately took to the idea of doing physiology. My honours year was actually interrupted by having to have spinal fusion, which was rather new in those days, and didn’t work very well. And so I, actually, more or less missed a year, and so I actually took five years rather than four years to complete my degree. And then, by that time - by the time I had finished - Catherine Hebb had moved down to the … what was then the Agricultural Research Council Institute of Animal Physiology at Babraham (Cambridgeshire), where Daly had moved from Edinburgh to be its first director.

  • Nobel Laureates with Their Contribution in Biomedical Engineering
    NOBEL LAUREATES WITH THEIR CONTRIBUTION IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING Nobel Prizes and Biomedical Engineering In the year 1901 Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen received Nobel Prize in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the remarkable rays subsequently named after him. Röntgen is considered the father of diagnostic radiology, the medical specialty which uses imaging to diagnose disease. He was the first scientist to observe and record X-rays, first finding them on November 8, 1895. Radiography was the first medical imaging technology. He had been fiddling with a set of cathode ray instruments and was surprised to find a flickering image cast by his instruments separated from them by some W. C. Röntgenn distance. He knew that the image he saw was not being cast by the cathode rays (now known as beams of electrons) as they could not penetrate air for any significant distance. After some considerable investigation, he named the new rays "X" to indicate they were unknown. In the year 1903 Niels Ryberg Finsen received Nobel Prize in recognition of his contribution to the treatment of diseases, especially lupus vulgaris, with concentrated light radiation, whereby he has opened a new avenue for medical science. In beautiful but simple experiments Finsen demonstrated that the most refractive rays (he suggested as the “chemical rays”) from the sun or from an electric arc may have a stimulating effect on the tissues. If the irradiation is too strong, however, it may give rise to tissue damage, but this may to some extent be prevented by pigmentation of the skin as in the negro or in those much exposed to Niels Ryberg Finsen the sun.

  • Nobel Prize Spotlights Virus-Associated Cancers
    Thank you virologists! – Nobel Prize spotlights virus-associated cancers Adriana Albini / 9 November 2020 With the 2020 Nobel Prize going to three scientists who led on the discovery of the hepatitis C virus, Adriana Albini acknowledges the valuable contributions that these and other virologists have made over many decades to advancing our understanding of cancer and boosting efforts to prevent and control the disease. As the world holds its breath in the hope of a pharmacological drug or a candidate vaccine able to counteract SARS-COV2 infection and fight COVID-19 pandemic, it is worth reminding ourselves that almost one in five cancers are associated with viruses. Progress in understanding their pathogenesis, detecting them, and preventing or curing infections has yielded some of the most important wins in efforts to reduce new cases and deaths from cancer worldwide, and could achieve much more if the tools we now have were rolled out more widely. The complexity and importance of this area of research has been recognized with a series of Nobel prizes over the past 45 years, most recently with the 2020 Prize for Medicine or Physiology, which was awarded for discovery of hepatitis C – a virus that is implicated in liver cancer and certain lymphomas. Cancer causing viruses Approximately 15%‒20% of human cancers worldwide are caused, directly or indirectly, by viruses. So far, seven viruses have been shown to be implicated. They are listed on the of the MD Anderson Cancer website, and are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC): Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which increases the risk of Burkitt lymphoma, some types of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and nasopharyngeal and stomach cancer; Human papillomavirus (HPV), which has several strains that can cause cancer in women, mostly in the uterus and cervix, but also vagina and vulva.
