Despite this, she continued her research, using her bedroom as a laboratory. In 1943, when Germany invaded Italy, she was forced to flee and live underground. After the liberation of Italy, she worked as a doctor in a refugee center. After moving to the USA, she discovered nerve growth factor, which helped us better understand the cells of the body and led to many medical discoveries. She received the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
