Invention of medicine

It’s great to win a Nobel Prize, since it is verified as the one of the excellent prize. So, today, I will talk about the winner of Nobel Prize in physiology this year. Her name is Youyou Tu and she is Chinese. She won this prize because she invented the medicine that is against Malaria. By seeing how she invented the medicine and how it contributed the world, we can know the greatness of her invention.

 Before figuring out how she won this prize, we should look at the procedure of her invention. She discovered and invented the drug against malaria and other parasitic diseases. As malaria affected many people’s death, she struggled out to solve this problem. As she was the expert on traditional oriental medicine, she focused on it. After studying and searching for the solution, finally she discovered an active ingredient called artemisinin form sweet wormwood. Then she knew that artemisinin can cure for malaria. To enhance the solution, she invented substance which is called as dihydroartemisinin. This substance can be synthesized chemically. So, she combined it with the other substance that is piperaquinone. The medicine that is used as cure for malaria is the combined one. 

The medicine that she invented was remarkable to the world. Because it was the first time that Chinese won the Nobel Prize. I think that Youyou Tu struggled so hard that finally she won it. The notable thing is that she grafted two varieties together which are western medicine and oriental medicine. Excepting all the other great invention, there is a reason that she won the Nobel Prize. As many amazing scientist try to find the medicine which can cure malaria, they were not able to make it. But Youyou Tu did not give up and just try and try to figure out.

Because of her incredible medicine, we can now cure malaria and save lots of life. I suppose that as Chinese won the Nobel Prize; we Korean can get one someday if we try hard. It is such a brilliant work to invent some necessary one. It is much better when it comes to the life. By talking about invention of medicine, I come up with thought that science is inevitable thing that we cannot bring down.
