Tracy Jackson Putnam (April 14, 1894 – March 29, 1975) was the co-discoverer, together with H. Houston Merritt, of Dilantin for controlling epilepsy.[1]

Education

Putnam graduated from Harvard College in 1915, and then from Harvard Medical School in 1920.[2]

Career

Putnam worked for the Boston City Hospital and in the New York Neurological Institute at Columbia University. He was promoted to director after his work with phenytoin.[3]

At his time there were quotas for Jewish physicians. He opposed the existence of the quotas. He was forced to resign from Columbia in 1947, maybe because of this.[4] However, other sources mention a "personal tragedy" Putnam went through at that time (presumably the death of his daughter, Lucy Washburn Putnam, on September 24, 1947[5]), after which he resigned from Columbia and abandoned all scientific activities.[6]

He studied multiple sclerosis together with Alexandra Adler.[7] He was one of the first persons to propose, as early as the 1930s, a vascular cause for multiple sclerosis,[8] resurrecting the previous works of Eduard von Rindfleisch. The idea remained obscure until the syndrome of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) was associated with multiple sclerosis in 2008.
