Professor Nasrin Moazami, a medical microbiologist and biotechnologist, received her Ph.D. in 1976 from the Faculty of Medicine, Laval University, in Canada. Dr. Moazami is the pioneer of biotechnology and microalgae-based fuels in Iran. The center that she established in 1987 is now regional reference center of Biotechnology for West and Central Asia. She is also the founder of the Persian Type Culture Collection (PTCC) that is an affiliated member of WFCC (The World Federation for Culture Collections since, 1985) and the MIRCEN International Network since 1992, which is a collection of microorganisms with industrial importance. She established the Persian Gulf Biotechnology Research Center in 1995 at Quehm Island, Iran. It is the research center for applied research in marine biotechnology in country. On July 27, 1995, Moazami was presented with the prestigious French Award, the "Chevalier de I'Ordre des Palmes Académiques" a citation given for outstanding professional research. In 1996 the president of Iran presented her the National Governmental Award for research. In 2007, in the 8th International Conference of Quality Managers Report, at the Opening Ceremony the Fourth Pioneer of Excellence was announced and recognized: Dr. Nasrin Moazami for her great and outstanding contribution to and tireless endeavors in improving quality of life in Queshm Island during last 20 years. In 1986, Moazami managed a joint project of IROST with UNDP and UNESCO, evaluated “the feasibility of producing and using Bacillus thiringiensis to control malaria vectors in southern Iran.1 The slow releasing formulation of product was patented at the European Patent Office in 2003. The knowhow of the project was transferred to a private company that is in full production capacity of 1000 T/y. since 2004. From 1990 to 2004, she was head of Biotechnology Department and from 2004 to 2010, Director of Institute of Advanced Technology, IROST From 2001 to 2010, she was principal investigator of bio-diesel and bio-ethanol based Microalgae project. From 2011 up to now, she is scientific in charge and manager of the National Project for 10 hectares scale up of microalgae-based diesel, ethanol and other valuable products of micro algae in Persian Gulf knowledge village, in Bushehr province of IRAN. ==Selected publications== *Moazami, N.
