Chicago — Five chemists were presented with the
Elsevier Foundation Award for Early Career Women Scientists in the
Developing World for research that looks to nature for ways to address
cancer, malaria and other medical problems.The winning researchers,
representing five regions of the developing world, are from Indonesia,
Jamaica, Nigeria, Uzbekistan and Yemen. The prizes are awarded by The Elsevier Foundation, the Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD) and The World Academy of Sciences for the advancement of science in developing countries (TWAS) with the aim of building scientific strength and advancing scientific knowledge in developing countries.
Dr. Mamadalieva is the recipient of a number of international fellowships, which have allowed her to travel extensively and develop a network of international collaborators.
“This award gives me confidence and confirms that I’m going for the right goal,” she said.
“Women need science, science needs women and they need to work together,” she said.
Dr. Ritmaleni received her PhD from the School of Chemistry at Bristol University, UK after receiving a scholarship from the Indonesian government. She has won several awards in Indonesia and has published over 40 papers.
Dr. RItmaleni said researchers face various challenges at her institution, including a lack of access to scientific equipment and supplies and a scarcity of grants for basic science.
As a mother, she also strives to balance work and family, making “time management” an important priority.
She values the recognition provided by this award along with “the opportunity to connect with other scientists around the globe.”
“Since cancer is the leading cause of death in Jamaica, such findings will prove useful in cancer treatment and prevention as well as earlier diagnosis in addition to identifying molecular targets that can improve selectivity of the isolates to cancer cells only.”
Dr. Badal McCreath has received numerous awards and has published extensively.
She said the challenges she faces in her career are less gender-based and more about the long delays in getting equipment and supplies to their lab as well as a lack of funding.
“Such challenges can cost us months even years of research,” she said. “Nonetheless, women in science do face challenges, and these become more apparent the higher the ladder you climb, the top of which is male dominated.”
Winning this award, she said, means attracting funding for cancer research in Jamaica and “the motivation of young and older women in science and other areas … to never give up but to persevere through gender-based and other issues that we daily face.”
“Not all the people around us understand what natural antioxidents are,” she said. She and her colleagues do workshops for the public, pointing out the antioxident properties in vitamins such as C and E and how to find them in the foods they eat.
“My main challenge has been funding, typical for most developing world,” she said. “Also been a woman can be challenging considering the fact that prevailing conditions and policies are not necessarily woman-friendly.
“It’s just so great to know that despite these challenges, my contribution to science is being recognized. I feel so proud and definitely energized to do more.”

Simone Ann Marie Badal McCreath, PhD
Dr. Simone Ann Marie Badal McCreath manages the biochemistry lab at
the Natural Products Institute at the University of the West Indies in
Jamaica, and is designing a new cell culture lab at the same Institute.
She was recognized for her work in designing a new cell culture lab to
investigate the cancer-fighting properties of Jamaican natural
compounds.Her interest is in screening Jamaican plant isolates for their
potential properties slow down block or prevent the carcinogenic
process. “Our findings have so far identified several isolates that are
more potent in reducing cancer cell viability as well as potentially
safer than anti-cancer drugs now on the market,” she said. “This
research will pave the way for future research necessary for drug
development and also the propagation and culture of novel Jamaican
cancer and normal cells lines.“Since cancer is the leading cause of death in Jamaica, such findings will prove useful in cancer treatment and prevention as well as earlier diagnosis in addition to identifying molecular targets that can improve selectivity of the isolates to cancer cells only.”
Dr. Badal McCreath has received numerous awards and has published extensively.
She said the challenges she faces in her career are less gender-based and more about the long delays in getting equipment and supplies to their lab as well as a lack of funding.
