Enid Cook de Rodaniche
Enid Cook de Rodaniche (1906-1988?) was an American virologist and bacteriologist. She was the Chief of Public Health Laboratory at the Instituto Conmemorativo Gorgas in Panama City, Panama where she was the first person to isolate the yellow fever virus in Panama,[1] and, along with her physician husband Arcadio Rodaniche, identified and characterized the viral strain responsible for an outbreak of polio in Panama in 1950-51.[2] She was on the founding faculty of the University of Panama School of Medicine.[3] She was the first African-American student to graduate from Bryn Mawr College, majoring in chemistry and biology.[4] The Enid Cook '31 Center at Bryn Mawr College is named for her[5], and the Dr. Enid Cook de Rodaniche Medal is awarded by the Rotary Club of Panama for work in virology.[6]
