Marie —, winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (5)

I believe the answer is:

curie

(Other definitions for curie that I've seen before include "Pioneer in radioactivity" , "One of two Nobel prizewinners" , "Marie --, French chemist" , "Unit of radioactivity" , "Marie ---, found radium" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
