New microbiologist motivated by environmental cleanup potential
The potential for environmental cleanup with microorganisms is a strong motivator for Shadi Rajab, who has joined Bionetix International as a microbiologist in May. With her rich background in microbiology, Shadi is well-equipped to bring Bionetix biologicals to the next level of quality and potential in cleaning, waste treatment, agriculture and more.
Shadi's extensive educational background includes a BSc in Biotechnology and two Masters degrees: one in Microbial Biotechnology; the other in Molecular Biology. She has also worked in the probiotics industry for more than seven years, dealing with everything from R&D to full-scale production. These experiences will prove invaluable as Shadi focuses on her four main responsibilities at Bionetix:
• Overseeing isolation, identification, and characterisation of microorganisms
• Optimising growth and production processes
• Developing new microbial strains for use in environmental cleanup, agriculture and animal feed
• Troubleshooting microbial issues that arise
By minutely studying and characterising microorganisms, Shadi will enable Bionetix to reimagine current biotechnologies and develop new strains to their best potential. Shadi is especially interested in the field of waste treatment and comments:
"The idea of using microorganisms to clean up human-made environmental contaminants motivates me to work every day."
Bionetix says it is excited to have Shadi on the team and looks forward to seeing her energy and expertise propel Bionetix R&D to greater heights of environmental cleanup and enhancement around the world.
