Scientific career
After completing medical school, Wright went to join her father at the center he founded, the Harlem Hospital Cancer Research Center. Wright worked with her father, gaining a particular interest in chemotherapeutic agents and worked to make chemotherapy a more accessible treatment for cancer (at this time chemotherapy was the 'last resort' treatment).
Wright was the first to report the usefulness of methotrexate against cancerous tumours in breast and skin cancer. She is also responsible for the methods used modern-day cancer treatment: namely, the common sequential/dosage variation used to increase chemotherapy and minimise side effects.
Later in her career she was appointed to the New York University Bellevue Medical Center as Director of Cancer Research and Associate Professor of Surgical Research. Dr Wright is now known as the cancer researcher and surgeon who contributed massively to the development of techniques that allow the use of human tissue to test potential drugs on cancer cells.

1965 Spirit of Achievement Award from Albert Einstein College of Medicine
1975 American Association for Cancer Research Award
1981 Othelia Cromwell Award from Smith College

I once found myself buried under deadlines and coursework, to the point where the idea of hiring online exam takers felt like a tempting escape from the pressure. But instead of surrendering to that thought, I forced myself to chip awayn answering one question, revisiting one lecture, reworking a flawed response. It was messy, uncertain, and full of doubts but as I crossed that finish line under my own name, the quiet pride and relief reminded me that even imperfect effort carries a strength no shortcut ever could.
