Mildred Cohn (July 12, 1913 – October 12, 2009)[1][2] was an American biochemist who furthered understanding of biochemical processes through her study of chemical reactions within animal cells. She was a pioneer in the use of nuclear magnetic resonance for studying enzyme reactions, particularly reactions of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).[3]
She received the nation's highest science award, the National Medal of Science, in 1982,[4] and was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame.
