Tu Youyou, an 84-year-old Chinese female scientist, was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology (生理学) or Medicine on Oct. 5. She found a medicine that cures the deadly disease called malaria(疟疾). Tu shared the prize with two scientists from the US and Japan. Tu is the first native Chinese person to get the Nobel Prize in natural science.
Tu found artemisinin (青篙素) in sweet wormwood(青篙) back in 1971. She spent the following years trying to improve the medicine.

Today, artemisinin is still the most useful medicine that fights against malaria.

Tu used to medicines by taking taking them herself. Tu’s team searched old Chinese medicine books by hand and tested over 2,000 traditional recipes (配方).
To do research, Tu also had to travel a lot. Once she returned to her family after six months away from home. Her little daughter didn’t recognize her and hid from the “strange woman”. However, Tu never complained. “ I feel rewarded when I see so many cured patients,” she said.
