Curie award goes to Lebanese Maud Kamal
19-12-2017
Maud Kamal, the scientist of Lebanese origin, received the first edition of the Curie award in recognition of her dynamic and distinguished work in medicine. The award marked the 150th anniversary of the birth of the pioneer Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist, Marie Curie. Kamal has been working for the past six years in fighting cancer at the Institut Curie hospital group which embraces nearly 33,000 researchers. Her daily tasks include, coordinating teams in various projects and monitoring patients, as well as, following up studies and drafting scientific reports. What enabled her to assume multiple missions has to do with her upbringing in Lebanon where she learned to be independent and responsible for herself, working and studying at the same time, Kamal told L’Orient Le Jour. She graduated in biology from the American University of Beirut (AUB) and followed up her studies in Canada before moving to France to complete her PhD in molecular biology from Universite Paris 12. She expressed pride in Lebanese women science researchers in various fields, especially since they were not as lucky to get the support she received. (L’Orient Le Jour, December 19, 2017)
