	Marie Curie
		Marie Curie was born Marya Sklodowska, the fifth and youngest child of Bronsitwa Boguska, a pianist, singer, and teacher, and Ladislas Sklodowski, a professor of mathematics and physics.
		By 1914, Curie was the head of two laboratories, one in her native Warsaw and one at the Sorbonne, known as the Radium Institute.
		Curie also lent her name to the cause for world peace by serving on the council of the League of Nations and on its international committee on intellectual cooperation.

	Marie Curie
		Curie and her collaborators in physics and mathematics; the Pasteur Pavillion, for the medical associates of Claudius Regaud (1870-1940) in radiophysiology and radiotherapy.
		Curie gave herself to the efficient organization and operation of a fleet of radioligic ambulances, and the training of the ncessary technologists, carrying the possibility of flouroscopy and radiography to the various fronts.
		Curie to its membership without the customary application and interviews of the candidate: rather than an election it was a belated homage proposed by the Academecians led by Antoine Béclère.

		CURIE, Marie (1867–1934) and Pierre (1859–1906), French physicists and Nobel laureates, who were wife and husband; together, they discovered the chemical elements radium and polonium.
		Curie thus began studying uranium radiations, and, using piezoelectric techniques devised by her husband, carefully measured the radiations in pitchblende, an ore containing uranium.
		Pierre Curie ended his own work on magnetism to join his wife’s research, and in 1898 the Curies announced their discovery of two new elements: polonium (named by Marie in honor of Poland) and radium.

		Pierre Curie’s early work dealt with crystallography and with the effects of temperature on magnetism; he discovered (1883) and, with his brother Jacques Curie, investigated piezoelectricity (a form of electric polarity) in crystals.
		In 1895 she married Pierre Curie and engaged in independent research in his laboratory at the municipal school of physics and chemistry where Pierre was director of laboratories (from 1882) and professor (from 1895).
		She was made director of the laboratory of radioactivity at the Curie Institute of Radium, established jointly by the Univ. of Paris and the Pasteur Institute, for research on radioactivity and for radium therapy.

		Educated by his father, a doctor, Curie developed a passion for mathematics at the age of 14 and showed a particular aptitude for spatial geometry, which was later to help him in his work on crystallography.
		Curie's studies of radioactive substances were made together with his wife, whom he married in 1895.
		In 1903 Pierre Curie was also awarded the Davy Medal of the Royal Society of London and appointed professor of physics at the University of Parisin 1904, and in 1905 he was elected to the French Academy of Sciences.

		Pierre Curie then joined her in the work that she had undertaken to resolve this problem and that led to the discovery of the new elements, polonium and radium.
		The sudden death of Pierre Curie (April 19, 1906) was a bitter blow to Maria Curie, but it was also a decisive turning point in her career: henceforth she was to devote all her energy to completing alone the scientific work that they had undertaken.
		Maria Curie, now at the highest point of her fame, and, from 1922, a member of the Academy of Medicine, devoted her researches to the study of the chemistry of radioactive substances and the medical applications of these substances.

		Marie Curie is best known as the discoverer of the radioactive elements polonium and radium and as the first person to win two Nobel prizes.
		Awarded in recognition of her services to the advancement of chemistry by the discovery of the elements radium and polonium, by the isolation of radium and the study of the nature and compounds of this remarkable element.
		Curie’s work was not only a leaping-off point for the modern field of nuclear medicine, but it helped lay the groundwork for the most important development in 20th-century science--the discovery of the structure of the atom.

		We had previously hypothezised that the beneficial and specific effect of alanine on the recovery of liver from 24 hours fasted mice following 48 hours of cold ischemia was essentially metabolic and mediated by pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH).We now have tested the effect of dichloroacetate, a PDH activator, on this recovery.
		The bacteria is thus able to stimulate the glucose transport of the host cell in such a way as to compensate the energetic load afforded by the bacteria to survive.
		Its activities are thus at the interface of the Biophysics group and the Research Division of the Institute and lead to various exterior collaboration.
