Prof. Dr. Kambiz Akbari Noghabi | Cellular & Molecular Microbiology | Best Researcher Award

National Institute of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (NIGEB) | Iran

Dr. Kambiz Akbari Noghabi’s research focuses on environmental and industrial biotechnology, with a strong emphasis on microbial physiology, molecular biology, and bio-nanotechnology. His work explores the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying microbial adaptation, biopolymer production, and natural product biosynthesis. He has made significant contributions to the study of cold-induced biopolymers, particularly from Pseudomonas fluorescens, investigating their structural characteristics and potential environmental applications. His research integrates environmental microbiology with biotechnology to develop sustainable bioprocesses for pollution control, waste management, and bioremediation. Dr. Noghabi also investigates microbial natural products and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), focusing on their isolation, biochemical and molecular characterization, and functional applications. His multidisciplinary approach combines enrichment and isolation techniques, molecular typing, spectrophotometric analyses, and taxonomical methods to identify and engineer microbial strains with industrial and environmental potential. Overall, his studies contribute to advancing eco-friendly microbial technologies and the development of biologically derived materials for industrial and environmental innovations.
