- nobelprize_orgDr. Rosalyn Yalow (19 July 1921 - 30 May 2011) was awarded the #NobelPrize in Medicine 1977 "for the development of radioimmunoassays of peptide hormones". RIA is used to measure small concentrations of substances in the body, such as hormones in the blood. Rosalyn Yalow and Solomon Berson tracked insulin by injecting radioactive iodine into patients' blood. Because the method is so precise, they were able to prove that type 2 diabetes is caused by the body's inefficient use of insulin. Previously it was thought that the disease was caused by a lack of insulin.
