(RIA) technique, along with her fellows Roger Guillemin and Andrew Schally. For the same this American medical physicist received a Nobel Prize in Physioloy Medicine in the year 1977. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) technique was an important invention that was used for measuring substances in the human body found in tiny quantities such as viruses, drugs and hormones. This technique is also used for screening diseases such as hepatitis or any other hormone related problems in the blood, especially after people donate blood. It is also used to mark the presence of any foreign bodies in the blood stream which allows them to detect even some types of cancers. Founder of this famous invention, Rosalyn Sussman Yalow obtained her PhD from University of Illinois in 1945 and also found her life partner Aron Yalow there. She is listed among the most famous American Women Inventors for bestowing science with this important invention.

If Stephanie Louise Kwolek wouldn't have invented Kevlar many important products today used for security like bulletproof vests, helmets, suspension bridge cables and others wouldn't have been as they are today. Basically an American chemist Stephanie Louise Kwolek was successful in inventing an exceptionally strong and firm synthetic material known as Kevlar.
