Professor Rita Levi-Montalcini (1909-2012)
A developmental biologist who left an indelible mark on the field of neuroscience through her groundbreaking discoveries and unwavering dedication to scientific inquiry, despite being forced at one point to conduct her research from the confinements of her bedroom in Turin. From her pioneering research on nerve growth factor (NGF) (which was found to also be involved memory and learning, physical and mental illnesses, and led to antibody based therapies decades after its discovery), to her advocacy for gender equality in academia, Rtia’s contributions continue to inspire generations of scientists worldwide.
