Cohn, Mildred, 1913-2009
Mildred Cohn papers, 1947-1980.
This collection includes correspondence, research data (20 large loose-leaf notebooks), reviews of grant proposals (National Science Foundation, Research Corporative, N.Y.), manuscripts, and student recommendations.The correspondence in the collection dates primarily to the 1960s-70s, when she worked at the University of Pennsylvania and at the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia. The letters are professional in content, discussing biochemistry, molecular biology, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments (with significant material on the NMR Facility for Biomedical Studies at Carnegie-Mellon University). The letters also concern lectures and participation in conferences and symposia, and there is much relating to recommendations for students and colleagues for positions and promotions. There is little material, however, reflecting Dr. Cohn's interest and involvement with the issue of women in science.
Mildred Cohn is a biochemist and biophysicist. She received her Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1938 and was a research associate in biochemistry at several universities (George Washington University, 1937-1938; Cornell University, 1938-1946; Washington University, 1946-1960; Harvard Medical School, 1950-1951). She was professor of biophysics and physical chemistry, 1961-1978, and Benjamin Rush Professor of Physiological Chemistry, 1978-1982. She is now professor emeritus of physiological chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania.
