She is best known for her work on female reproductive biology and the regulation of hormonal signaling pathways, particularly for the discovery of the signaling hormone inhibin. Schwartz has been an active feminist advocate for women in science throughout her career; she was a founding member of the Association for Women in Science organization in 1971 and shared the founding presidency with Judith Pool. She also co-founded the Women in Endocrinology group under the auspices of the Endocrine Society, served terms as the president of the Endocrine Society and the Society for the Study of Reproduction, and has been recognized for her exceptional mentorship of women scientists. In 2010, she wrote a memoir of her life in science, ''A Lab of My Own'', in which she came out as lesbian. ==Early life and education== Schwartz was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1926〔()〕 to a family of Russian descent〔 who she has described as politically active.〔 She received her bachelor's degree from Goucher College (a women's college at the time) in 1948.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.endocrine.org/~/media/endosociety/Files/About%20Us/Sawin/cv-neena-b-schwartz.pdf )〕 Despite originally being interested in English and journalism, she became interested in physiology during her undergraduate studies and spent summers conducting undergraduate research with Curt Richter at Johns Hopkins University, and separately at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine.〔 After graduation, Schwartz began her graduate studies at Northwestern University, where she received her Ph.D. in physiology in 1953 under the supervision of Allen Lein.〔〔 She was the only female Ph.D. student in the department at the time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neena Schwartz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
