Dr. Mohammed Kuddus. PhD in Enzyme Biotechnology. After completing PhD in Enzyme Biotechnology, he worked in different R&D projects funded by various scientific agencies. Prof. Kuddus’ main research area includes biochemistry, industrial enzymes, waste utilization, extremophiles, microbial and food biotechnology. He has more than 15 years of integrated teaching and research experience and published more than 75 research articles in peer reviewed international journals along with 8 books and 22 book chapters. Also, published 40 abstract at International/ National conferences and symposia and received best presentation awards. He supervised 6 PhD thesis and 12 PG/UG dissertations. He has been serving as an editor/editorial board member for 20 and reviewer for more than 40 international peer-reviewed journals; along with research grant reviewer for scientific body of USA, Italy, South Africa, India and Saudi Arabia. He has also been awarded SERC Young Scientist Project from the Department of Science and Technology, Govt of India; and Young Scientist Project from International Foundation for Science, Stockholm, Sweden. Prof. Dr. Cristobal N. Aguilar, Chemist, PhD, was the Director of the Research and Postgraduate Programs at Autonomous University of Coahuila (2018–2024, Mexico, where from 2014 to 2018, he was the Dean of the School of Chemistry. He is a Level III member of S.N.I. (Mexican System of Researchers). He has received several prizes and awards, among which the most important are the National Prize of Research 2010 of the Mexican Academy of Sciences, the Prize “Carlos Casas Campillo 2008” of the Mexican Society of Biotechnology and Bioengineering, the National Prize AgroBio–2005, the Mexican Prize in Food Science and Technology from CONACYT-Coca Cola México 2003, the 2018 Outstanding Researcher Award by the International Association of Bioprocessing, and the 2019 Coahuila State Innovation Science and Technology Award. He's developed more than 30 research projects, including seven international exchange projects. He is a member of the Mexican Academy of Science (since 2014).
