She taught biochemistry at Emory University from 1950-1967. She became a full professor in 1965.[1] Pituitary gland researchRussell's major research indicated that fasting rats lose muscle glycogen following pituitary removal and injections of pituitary extract can prevent weight loss. She determined the relationship between the anterior lobe pituitary and carbohydrates. Her work allowed the further isolation and identification of growth hormones.[2] RecognitionRussell was awarded the Kraft Prize, Phi Beta Kappa Key, Steward Scholarship, and University Gold Medal.
