Dr. Dratman (far right) in the endocrinology lab at Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, 1951.

The Legacy Center recently received a second donation of papers from Dr. Mary Bagan Dratman, adding to the bulk of her papers that were transferred to the Legacy Center in late 2010. Dr. Dratman graduated from Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1945 and has conducted extensive research in endocrinology, specifically concerning the T3 and T4 thyroid hormones. She is widely published and taught at both Woman’s Med and the University of Pennsylvania. We’re looking forward to conducting an oral history with Dr. Dratman in the spring.

We're working on a preliminary inventory of the Dratman papers that will be available soon.
