Marie Krogh

Danish physician and physiologist who collaborated with her husband August Krogh on the research for which he won the Nobel Prize — herself a significant scientist who studied diabetes and developed the oral glucose tolerance test, but whose contributions were largely attributed to her husband.

Co-developed the capillary physiology research that won the Nobel Prize and independently contributed diabetes research — Marie Krogh's work on the oral glucose tolerance test and carbon monoxide diffusion in the lungs was scientifically significant but historically underattributed due to the conventions of her era.
