Helen Lee Gruehl Aikman (December 20, 1902 – September 1983) was an American immunologist.

Early life and education

Gruehl was born in Passaic, New Jersey, the daughter of Edward Charles Gruehl and Susan Ramsay Mason Gruehl. Her father was manager of a rubber factory; her mother was a teacher and clubwoman. Gruehl graduated from Passaic High School in 1920, and from Mount Holyoke College in 1924. Her major was chemistry, and her minor was in mathematics; she was also known as a dancer during her college years.

Career

Gruehl taught in the immunology department of Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York University, while doing research on anaphylaxis. She co-authored over a dozen scientific articles on protein sensitivity, allergies and asthma. Her work appeared in scholarly journals including Experimental Biology and Medicine, Journal of Immunology, American Journal of Diseases of Children, Journal of Clinical Investigation, American Journal of Epidemiology, and Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.
