Carl Ferdinand Cori was an Austrian-American biochemist and pharmacologist whose research focused on carbohydrate metabolism. With his wife, Gerty Cori, and Argentine physiologist Bernardo Houssay, he received the 1947 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering how the glucose derivative glycogen is broken down and resynthesized in the body for use as an energy source and store, an award that made the Coris the third married couple ever to win a Nobel Prize. In 2004 the couple were designated a National Historic Chemical Landmark for their contributions to understanding carbohydrate metabolism.
