Botanist Matilda Moldenhauer (b. 1890) was completing graduate work at Harvard University (Ph.D., 1920) when she met biologist Sumner Cushing Brooks. During their marriage, Matilda and Sumner conducted joint research projects and coauthored such works as The Permeability of Living Cells. From 1920-1927, she worked for the U.S. Public Health Service and, after that, was on the research staff of the University of California. During the 1930s, she discovered an antidote for carbon monoxide and cyanide poisoning.
