Rita Levi-Montalcini: Neuroembryologist and Nobel Prize Winner

  • Summary

  • Rita Levi-Montalicini co-discovered the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). This discovery led to advancements in the way we approach neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Dementia. Her discoveries were nothing short of awe inspiring, especially considering she was at one point relegated to performing her experiments in a makeshift lab in her bedroom when Mussolini passed laws barring academic and professional careers to non-Aryan Italian citizens- after all, Rita was Jewish in Fascist Italy.
