Abstract

Objective

To describe the contributions of Marie Sklodowska-Curie and her daughter Irene Curie to radiation science and how these studies in physics, chemistry and medicine led to the need to study radiobiological effects.

Conclusions

The seminal discoveries of Maria Sklodowska-Curie in radiation physics and chemistry provided the basis for later investigations of the effects of ionizing radiation on cells and tissues and the role of radioactivity in mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. Both Maria and Irene contributed to the development of radiotherapy and the use of x-rays and radioisotopes in medical diagnosis. Their legacy is not confined to their own generation but can be traced through grand- and great-grand-students of these pioneering women.

Marie 和 Irène Curie，两位杰出的女性，开创了核化学、放射疗法和放射生物学的发展

摘要

客观的

描述 Marie Sklodowska-Curie 和她的女儿 Irene Curie 对辐射科学的贡献，以及这些物理、化学和医学研究如何导致需要研究放射生物学效应。

结论

Maria Sklodowska-Curie 在辐射物理和化学方面的开创性发现为后来研究电离辐射对细胞和组织的影响以及放射性在诱变和致癌作用中的作用奠定了基础。Maria 和 Irene 都为放射疗法的发展以及 X 射线和放射性同位素在医学诊断中的应用做出了贡献。他们的遗产不仅限于他们自己这一代，还可以通过这些先驱女性的曾孙辈和曾孙辈来追溯。
