Tu Youyou, a committed and patient scientist, was born in Ningbo, China, on 30 December 1930, and graduated from Peking University Medical School in 1955. After she graduated, she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing. In 1967, the Chinese government formed a team of scientist with the o    1     of discovering a new treatment for malaria, and Tuyouyou was among the first r    2     chosen. In the beginning, Tuyouyou went to Hainan, where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients. In 1969, she became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional b    3     treatments for the disease. Her team examined over 2,000 old medical texts, and e    4     280,000 plants for their medical p    5    . From their research, they discovered and texted 380 d    6     ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria.

One medical text from the fourth century suggested using the extract from sweet wormwood to treat a fever. Tu’s team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves but found no effect. They then tried boiling fresh wormwood, and using the l    7     obtained from this to treat malaria, but this did not work either. Their project get stuck. However, Tu Youyou would not a    8     defeat. She analysed the medical texts again, and by chance, she found one sentence suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood. She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently destroyed its medical properties. Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract, she found a s    9     that worked. After failing more than 190 times, the team finally succeeded in 1971. Tu Youyou and her team members even i    10     on testing the medicine on themselves to make sure that it was safe. Later, the medicine was tested on malaria patients, most of whom recovered. This medicine, which was called artemisinin, soon became a standard treatment for malaria.
