Gertrude Belle Elion, AKA Trudy, discovered, along with her colleague Hitchings, a new and more efficient way to develop drugs. Even the drugs that they developed were more efficient at treating the patients they were administered to. After losing her grandfather to painful stomach cancer, as well as losing her fiance to a heart condition, she dedicated her life to helping those around her. She was known to be joyful, kind, and always thinking about the patient.
