Webe Celine Kadima (* 1958 in Burundi ) is a Burundian chemist and Associate Professor of Chemistry at the State University of New York in Oswego .

life and work

Webe Kadima was born in Burundi and moved to the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the age of four . She needed the support of a government official to begin a chemistry degree at Kinshasa University , but after a year she moved to Montreal University , where she successfully completed her chemistry degree. Her father was a diabetic and died from complications associated with diabetes while she was studying in Canada . It was later at the University of Alberta for PhD doctorate in bioanalytical chemistry. During her research, she found that cadmium in red blood cells binds primarily with glutathione (GSH) and, to a lesser extent, with hemoglobin .

After completing her doctorate at the University of Alberta , she took on various teaching positions and eventually became a professor at the State University of New York at Oswego . In 2004 she went back to the Congo for a sabbatical to work on research projects. She focused her scientific work on researching Congolese plants that can be used to cure diabetes. She founded the non-profit Bioactive Botanical Research Institute , whose mission was to study medicinal plants used in the Congo and develop pharmaceutical preparations that are inexpensive, beneficial, and safe. She also campaigned for the establishment of an exchange for African students with the State University of New York at Oswego . In 2010, it was announced that she had received a $ 200,000 grant from the National Science Fund to study how to increase the number of women in science.

In July 1983, she published the results of her M.Sc. -Research activities together with Rabenstein, Isab and Mohanakrishnan. Later she was the lead author of a paper on the stability of the cadmium-glutathione complex in red blood cells. In the Inorganica Chimica Acta she published an article on the kinetics of palladium - ethylenediamine - chloride in an aqueous solution .
