Marie Curie (1867–1934) was a Polish-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity and is credited for discovering radioactive polonium and radium. On 4 July 1934, she died at the Sancellemoz sanatorium in Passy, Haute-Savoie , from aplastic anaemia believed to have been contracted from her long-term exposure ...

In 1906, Pierre Curie died in a Paris street accident. Marie won the 1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium, using techniques she invented for isolating radioactive isotopes. Under her direction, the world's first studies were conducted into the treatment of neoplasms by the use of radioactive isotopes.
Marie Curie, famous for her pioneering work in the field of radioactivity, died of aplastic anemia after working unprotected with radioactive materials for a long period of time; the damaging effects of ionizing radiation were not then known. [11] Aplastic anemia is present in up to 2% of patients with acute viral hepatitis. [12]
