The MilliporeSigma Predoctoral Fellowship in Honor of Dr. Gerty T. Cori was established in 1958 in the Department of Biological Chemistry (now Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics) by the Sigma Chemical Company (now MilliporeSigma). Cori and her husband, Carl Cori, both professors of biological chemistry, won the Nobel Prize in 1947 for their discovery of how glycogen is broken down and re-synthesized within the body.
Awarded annually to a first-year graduate student in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, the fellowship supports the student’s thesis research, educational expenses, and a portion of the student’s stipend.
