For 50 years, TDR has been fighting infectious diseases of poverty, engaging researchers and experts from all over the world in its efforts. Each individual brings unique knowledge, and together they make up a vibrant scientific community called TDR Global. TDR Global is committed to driving and encouraging mentoring of young scientists and fostering research collaborations. We created a collection of inspiring stories to showcase the incredible work of a range of women scientists. The vision of this TDR Global compendium is to motivate those working in the field by sharing success stories of these women in research. These scientists come from across the globe—Algeria, Cameroon, Colombia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Republic of Congo, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland (Eswatini), Thailand, Uganda, and the United Kingdom. Each woman featured in the compendium has her own unique story to tell. None of their paths were without its challenges, but it is how they reacted, embraced, and overcame these pressures that impressed us. This second edition adds new profiles of four additional scientists.
