[Yvonne Marie Rosengart-Famel, her life and pharmaceutical career]
Abstract:
Yvonne Marie Rosengart-Famel (1912-?) is the granddaugther of Pierre Famel, the founder of the Pharmacy and the Laboratoires Famel. After passing her A-Levels in 1929, she trained in pharmacology partly in her grandfather's pharmacy, and partly in the Pharmacy Lefèvre. She was a student at the Faculty of Pharmacy in Paris, where she presented a doctoral thesis on the botanical, chemical and pharmacodynamic studies of several species from the genus Anabasis and Haloxylon. After the death of Pierre Famel she managed the Society of Laboratoires Famel from 1942 to 1963. We lose her trace from this date, when she was in the United States.
