Associate-Professor (1992-1996) Research activities at the Centre of Biotechnology of Sfax, Tunisia.
Professor (Since December 23rd, 1996) Research activities at the Centre of Biotechnology of Sfax,
Tunisia.
From September 2009:
-Professor at the College of Arts & Sciences. Department Biol. & Environ. Sc. Doha Qatar
-Program coordinator of the Master of Science in Environmental Sciences
-Skills development:
In the department, we first of all tried to improve and update the basic skills of the technicians
interested in our research topics. At least 2 technicians are now able to carry out research
independently..
-Research programs:
As a team, we started a research program in Microbial and Environmental Biotechnology:
-Production of Bioactive Molecules and compounds not polluting for the environment: antibiotics,
fungicides, bioinsecticides, ...
-Bio-Degrade Polluting Molecules and compounds.
In the frame of Qatar vision 2030 for a sustainable Qatari Environment, our action plan consisted in
establishing and setting up a microbial gene bank. In the first stage, a culture collection of more than 500
strains of Bacillus thuringiensis, a friendly biopesticide producing bacterium, has been set up. These
biopesticides will be developed towards a sustainable Qatari and Gulf Environment free from chemical
pesticides. So, this collection is being used for several projects but will be useful in term of research
opportunities Master, PhD, postdoc,… but also industrial opportunities ..
We have started in parallel another project dealing with the isolation of hydrocarbon degrading
bacteria… We have now a strain that can grow and degrade 70% diesel…
