Eloise Giblett
Eloise R. Giblett(January 17, 1921 - September 16, 2009)
She was a genetic scientist and researcher, who died in Seattle, Washington on September 19, 2009. Dr. Giblett (or ‘Elo’, as she was called) was a research professor of medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle (Division of Hematology), a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and also served as the Executive Director of the Puget Sound Blood Center in Seattle. The author of over 200 research papers, she also wrote the esteemed tome on Genetic markers, ‘Genetic Markers in Human Blood’. (Published by Blackwell Scientific Publications, Oxford, England, 1969). She spent the majority of her career at the Puget Sound Blood Center in Seattle, WA (1955–1986), beginning as a hematologist and attaining the position of Executive Director in 1979, a position she held until her retirement in 1986.
Her numerous medical accomplishments include discovering the first immunodeficiency disease: adenosine deaminase deficiency. She identified and characterized numerous blood group antigens (including the ‘Elo’ antigen, named after her). Her work paved the way for the emergence of safe red cell transfusions. She also applied her understanding of red cell protein polymorphisms to genetic linkage analyses, was senior author on the paper that demonstrated the feasibility of unrelated marrow transplantation for leukemia, and was an early supporter of bone marrow donation.
==Early Days==
Elo was born in Tacoma, Washington in 1921 and moved frequently, as her father worked for the railroad, and his position required frequent traveling. After many moves, the family settled in Spokane, WA, where Elo’s father accepted a permanent position with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and the family settled in one location. It is in Spokane where Elo received her early education, and was trained in singing, dancing and the violin. Her Mother, Rose, held a secret desire that young little ‘Eloise’ would become the next Shirley Temple of the era. From her very early childhood, Elo was especially bright and eager to learn. Her older brother, Harry, was three years her senior, and only trumped Elo once, when she proclaimed she could spell any word in the English language. Harry responded, “Well, then, spell ‘Europe’, and Elo was flummoxed.
