Reading behind every scientific discovery lies a lot of hard work. The news report below describes the chinese scientist to yoo and her discovery of a lifesaving medicine. Before you read the news report, think about the following questions. What do you know about the nobel prize? What important scientific discoveries in history have you heard about? Chinese scientist wins two thousand and fifteen nobel prize by dinner corner the elements of december two thousand and fifteen two. Yoo has become the first female scientist of the people's republic of china to receive a noble prize awarded for her contribution to the fight against malaria, one of the deadliest diseases in human history. Thanks to her discovery of chain house sue, malaria patients all over the world now have had a greatly increased chance of survival. Born in nineteen and thirty in in boj jang province, two studied medicine at university in beijing between nineteen and fifty one and nineteen fifty five. After graduation, he worked at the academy of traditional chinese medicine. SHE completed further training courses in traditional chinese medicine, acquiring a broad knowledge of both traditional chinese medicine and western medicine. Two education was soon to prove very useful. In the nineteen sixties, many people were dying of malaria, and in nineteen sixty nine, two became head of a team that intended to find a cure for the disease. SHE collected over two thousand traditional chinese medical recipes from malaria treatment and made hundreds of extracts from different herbs when they failed to produce any promising results to refer to the ancient books of traditional chinese medicine, again inspired by an over one thousand six hundred year old text about preparing chenghai extract with cold water to redesign the experiments, and tried extracting the urb at a low temperature in order not to damage its effective part. On the fourth of october nineteen seventy one, after one hundred and ninety failures, he succeeded in making change hal extract that could treat malaria in mice. However, IT was hard to produce enough chahal extract for large trials. Because research resources were limited, two and her team managed to find solutions to the problem. When there was no research equipment, they had to extract hbs using household water containers. They worked day and night, and their health began to suffer because of the poor condition, but they never gave up. Even with large amounts of chenghai extract produced. However, they still faced another problem. The trials on patients were likely to be postponed because they did not have sufficient safety data to speed up the process and ensure its safety. Two and her team volunteer to teaching how extract on themselves first. The efforts of two and her team finally paid off in november nineteen seventy two. Three trial and error. They successfully discovered chain hsue, the most effective part of the chain hal extract, as a key part of many malaria medicines. Chain housel has since benefit about two hundred million malaria patients more than forty years after its discovery. Two was eventually awarded the nobel Price for her work. In her nobel lecture, SHE encouraged scientists to further explore the treasurer of traditional chinese medicine and raise IT to a higher level, perhaps the next generation of scientists drawing on the wisdom of traditional chinese medicine will indeed discover more medicine beneficial to global health care.
