  • Maud Menten, a Physician and Biochemist
    Maud Menten Canadian medical researcher Maud Menten (1879-1960) has been called the "grandmother of biochemistry," a "radical feminist 1920s flapper," and a "petite dynamo." Not only was she an author of Michaelis-Menten equation for enzyme kinetics (like the plot in indigo in my portrait), she invented the azo-dye coupling for alkaline phosphatase, the first example of enzyme histochemistry, still used in histochemistry imaging of tissues today (which inspired the histology background of the portrait), and she also performed the first electrophoretic separation of blood haemoglobin in 1944! Born in Port Lambton, Ontario, she studied at the University of Toronto, earning her bachelor's in 1904, and then graduated from medical school (M.B., bachelor's of medicine) in 1907. She published her first paper with Archibald Macallum, the Professor of Physiology at U of T (who went on to set up the National Research Council of Canada), on the distribution of chloride ions in nerve cells in 1906. She worked a year at the Rockefeller Institute in New York, where along with Simon Flexner, first director of the Institute, she co-authored a book on radium bromide and cancer, the first publication produced by the Institute - barely 10 years after Marie Curie had discovered radium. She completed the first of two fellowships at Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University), then she earned a doctorate in medical research in 1911 at U of T. She was one of the first Canadian women to earn such an advanced medical degree. She then moved to Berlin (travelling by boat, unfazed by the recent sinking of the Titanic) to work with Leonor Michaelis.

Yet, Aix-Marseille Université, although this work was certainly important, that would be the wrong answer, because Maud Leonora France) and John Lagnado Menten, who sometimes seems to be remembered for one paper only, had this idea several years (Honorary Archivist, the before him, and used it to recognize the differences between foetal and adult haemoglobin1. She was Biochemical Society) unfortunate, however, in that her paper appeared in war time, and was eclipsed a few years later by a far more high-profile study2. In 2013 we celebrate two important centenaries not only of Director, and later the person who appointed Leonor the admission of women to the Biochemical Society (why Michaelis to his position there. With Flexner and James W. did it take so long?), but also of the publication of a paper Jobling, she wrote a book (the first monograph emanating by Maud Menten, who was one of the first women to leave from the Rockefeller Institute) on the effects of radium her mark in biochemistry, with a paper that is cited more bromide on tumours of animals, published in 1910 – often in the 21st Century than it was in the 20th.

  • Dr Maud Menten (March 20, 1879 – July 17, 1960) Was a Canadian Physician-Scientist Who Made Significant Contributions to Enzyme Kinetics and Histochemistry
    Dr Maud Menten (March 20, 1879 – July 17, 1960) was a Canadian physician-scientist who made significant contributions to enzyme kinetics and histochemistry. Her name is associated with the famous Michaelis–Menten equation in biochemistry. Maud Menten was born in Port Lambton, Ontario and studied medicine at the University of Toronto (B.A. 1904, M.B. 1907, M.D. 1911, Ph.D., 1916). She was among the first women in Canada to earn a medical doctorate. She completed her thesis work at University of Chicago. At that time women were not allowed to do research in Canada, so she decided to do research in other countries such as the United States and Germany. In 1912 she moved to Berlin where she worked with Leonor Michaelis and co-authored their paper in Biochemische Zeitschrift which showed that the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is proportional to the amount of the enzyme-substrate complex. This relationship between reaction rate and enzyme– substrate concentration is known as the Michaelis–Menten equation. After studying with Michaelis in Germany she entered graduate school at the University of Chicago where she obtained her PhD in 1916. Her dissertation was titled "The Alkalinity of the Blood in Malignancy and Other Pathological Conditions; Together with Observations on the Relation of the Alkalinity of the Blood to Barometric Pressure". Menten worked at the University of Pittsburgh (1923–1950), becoming Assistant Professor and then Associate Professor in the School of Medicine and head of pathology at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Her final promotion to full Professor, in 1948, was at the age of 69 in the last years of her career.
