Ọ bụ Phi Beta Kappa  na Hunter College, nke o nwere ike ịga n'efu n'ihi akara ya, gụsịrị akwụkwọ summa cum laude na 1937 na nzere na chemistry.   Enweghị ike ịchọta ọrụ nyocha na-akwụ ụgwọ mgbe ọ gụsịrị akwụkwọ n'ihi na ọ bụ nwanyị, Elion rụrụ ọrụ dị ka odeakwụkwọ na onye nkụzi ụlọ akwụkwọ sekọndrị tupu ọ rụọ ọrụ n'ọnọdụ akwụghị ụgwọ na ụlọ nyocha kemịkalụ.

N'ụzọ doro anya, o nwere mmasị na ijikọta ndị na-emegide ya na nucleic acid derivatives, na ebumnuche na ndị na-eguzogide ya ga-abanye n'ime ụzọ ndụ. O kwenyere na ọ bụrụ na ọ nwere ike ịghọ aghụghọ mkpụrụ ndụ kansa ka ha nabata ihe ndị aka mere maka uto ha, enwere ike ibibi ha n'emeghị ka ha bibie mkpụrụ ndụ nkịtị. : 65 Elion mepụtara anti-metabolites nke purines, na 1950, ọ mepụtara ọgwụ mgbochi ọrịa kansa Tioguanine na mercaptopurine.  : 66 : 66 

Ọ gara akwụkwọ gụsịrị akwụkwọ na ụlọ akwụkwọ abalị na Mahadum New York Tandon School of Engineering (nke bụ Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute n'oge ahụ), mana mgbe ọtụtụ afọ nke njem dị anya gasịrị, a gwara ya na ọ gaghịzi enwe ike ịga n'ihu na doctorate ya na nwa oge, mana ọ ga-achọ ịhapụ ọrụ ya wee gaa ụlọ akwụkwọ oge niile. Elion mere mkpebi dị oke mkpa na ndụ ya, wee nọgide na ọrụ ya ma kwụsị ịchụso doctorate ya. Ọ nwetụbeghị Ph.D. n'ụzọ iwu kwadoro, mana e mechara nye ya Ph.D nke nsọpụrụ site na Mahadum New York Tandon School of Engineering (nke bụ mgbe ahụ Mahadum Polytechnic nke New York) na 1989 na nzere S.D. nke nsọpụrụ na Mahadim Harvard na 1998.

## Ndụ onwe onye
N'oge na-adịghị anya mgbe ọ gụsịrị akwụkwọ na Hunter College, Elion zutere Leonard Canter, nwa akwụkwọ ndekọ ọnụ ọgụgụ na City College of New York (CCNY). Ha mere atụmatụ ịlụ di na nwunye, mana Canter dara ọrịa. Na June 25, 1941, ọ nwụrụ site na endocarditis bacteria, ọrịa nke valves nke obi ya.

Ọbụna mgbe ọ lara ezumike nká na Burroughs Wellcome, Gertrude gara n'ihu na-arụ ọrụ oge niile na ụlọ nyocha ahụ. Ọ rụrụ ọrụ dị mkpa na mmepe nke AZT, otu n'ime ọgwụ ndị mbụ e ji gwọọ HIV na AIDS. Ọ dịkwa mkpa na mmepe nke nelarabine, nke ọ rụrụ ọrụ ruo mgbe ọ nwụrụ na 1999.
