Possible Additions
Hello Wikipedia Community! I'm planning on expanding this article, and I've listed the changes that I'd like to make! Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions -


 * Add a picture of Mary Bernheim -- I believe this would improve the page by adding to the visual component.


 * (New section) Early Life and Education -- This section would include some general information about Bernheim's birth, childhood spent in India, and her degree credentials (BA, MA, PhD).


 * (New Section) Discovery of Monoamine Oxidase -- This section would contain detailed information about Bernheim's discovery of tyramine oxidase in liver extracts - including the fact that her discovery was part of her dissertation research as a graduate student, her utilization of the Barcroft technique, the observation that one atom of oxygen is absorbed per molecule of tyramine, and the discovery that methylene blue is not reduced.


 * (New Section) Importance of Monoamine Oxidase Discovery -- This section could include information about further research on the functions of monoamine oxidase, which were brought about due to Bernheim's initial discovery - including the relation between monoamine oxidase inhibitors and mood elevation, and the presence of monoamine oxidase in blood platelets.


 * (New Section) Duke Medical School Faculty -- This section would include details about Berheim's appointment on the original Duke Medical School faculty, her appointment as a professor in 1962, and her presence as a woman in the Biochemistry department.


 * (New Section) Personal Life - This section would contain information about her marriage to Dr. Frederick Bernheim in 1928, her book on flying titled "A Sky of My Own", her interest in botany and flying, the fact that she has published more than 60 papers (including a paper on the function of pyrrole as a catalyst, which she published with her husband), the Ciba Foundation symposium held in 1975 which honored her contributions to biochemistry with the discovery of monoamine oxidase, and her death in 1997.

Please let me know if you have any feedback!
