Bionetix® International’s new microbiologist, Shadi Rajab, focuses on using microorganisms to cleanup human-made environmental contaminants. Rajab is expected to enable the company to develop new microbial strains for use in environmental cleanup, agriculture and animal feed.
For Shadi Rajab, who has been the new Microbiologist at Bionetix® International since last May, the potential for environmental cleanup with microorganisms is a strong motivator. The company points out that with her rich background in microbiology, Rajab is well-equipped to bring Bionetix® biologicals to the next level of quality and potential in cleaning, waste treatment, agriculture, and more.
Shadi Rajab’s extensive educational background includes a B.S. in biotechnology and two master’s 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. Bionetix® explains that these experiences will prove invaluable as Rajab focuses on her four main responsibilities at Bionetix®: overseeing isolation, identification, and characterization of microorganisms; optimizing their growth and production processes; developing new microbial strains for use in environmental cleanup, agriculture, and animal feed; and troubleshooting microbial issues that arise.
By minutely studying and characterizing microorganisms, Shadi Rajab is expected to enable Bionetix® to reimagine current biotechnologies and develop new strains to their best potential. She is especially interested in the field of waste treatment and comments: “The idea of using microorganisms to cleanup human-made environmental contaminants motivates me to work every day.”
Bionetix® points out that it is excited to have Shadi Rajab 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.
