Sweet wormwood ( 青蒿 ) is a common plant in China, but it has the power to cure the deadly disease called malaria (疟疾). Tu Youyou born in 1930 in Ninbo, Zhejiang Province, is the woman who uses the plant’s special power to save millions of lives.
On October 5, Tu got the award of the 2015 Noble Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She shared it with two other scientists from the US and Japan. Tu is the first native Chinese to receive a Noble Prize in natural sciences.
When she was still a high school student, she became interested in both traditional and modern medicine. When Tu joined the national research team to find the medicine that could fight against malaria in the 1960s, things were hard, the team didn’t have modern tools then. Tu used to take the medicine herself to test medicines.
To do research, Tu also had to move around a lot. Once she returned home after traveling for six months. Her little daughter didn’t recognize her and hid from the “strange woman ”.
Finally , Tu found artemisinin (青蒿素) in sweet wormwood in 1971. She spent the next ten years trying to make the medicine better. According to the WHO, about 200 million people suffer from malaria around the world, and about half a million die each year. Artemisinin is still the best treatment against malaria today.
Tu was modest about receiving the award: “The award means the whole research team succeeded.”She also thinks it is scientists’ duty to fight for the health of all humans. She never complained about how hard she works. “I feel more rewarded when I see so many cured patients,” she said
