Dr. Reyed M. Reyed is an Associate Professor of Microbial Biotechnology with extensive expertise in microbial genomics, computational enzymes, and environmental sustainability. He holds multiple academic credentials, including Dia.M.C, RN, PAND, PhD, MSc, and BSc in Microbial Biotechnology. His research spans a wide range of fields, from the nutritional human gut microbiome and food microbiology to water treatment and food safety. From 2008 to 2019, Dr. Reyed served as an expert in water treatment technology, applying his knowledge to critical challenges such as biofilm formation and marine biofouling in reverse osmosis systems. From 2020 to 2023, he led the Egyptian-Indian joint project on water treatment in collaboration with Indian leader Asifa Qureshi at the Environmental Biotechnology and Genomics Division (EBGD), CSIR-National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (CSIR-NEERI) in Nagpur, India, contributing to practical environmental solutions. In the field of food microbiology, Dr. Reyed has made notable contributions to food safety and has founded a winter school on the subject. He is currently the program coordinator at SRTA-CITY SCI EG. His interdisciplinary research includes advances in computational enzymes and bioinformatics, which complement his expertise in microbial biotechnology, as well as the integration of synthetic biology and systems biology in exploring gut health and environmental sustainability. Dr. Reyed has participated in the Diabetes Master Class (Dia.M.C) organized by Novartis Egypt and the Arabic Society for Diabetes and Metabolism in 2022, under the supervision of the Egyptian Medical Syndicates in Cairo, Egypt. His leadership extends beyond research; he serves as the Academic Editor of the International Journal of Environment and Climate Change and as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Climate Change and Renewable Energy.
