She died of a blood disease in 1934.
Marie Curie discovered two new chemical elements - radium and polonium. She carried out the first research into the treatment of tumors with radiation, and she was the founder of the Curie Institutes, which are important medical research centers. She is the only person who has ever won Nobel Prizes in both physics and
