SAAD MOUSSA Postdoc USA & ICGEB

__________PROFILE________ My research interest is focusing on molecular entomology and pest management. In 2012, I established the Insect Biotechnology Research Unit at PPRI. In 2015, I have been appointed as a head of Central Administration of the Egyptian Plant Quarantine. In this period, I headed several national and international talks and signed several Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) to resolve the technical obstacles that face the exportation of Egyptian agricultural commodities. Currently, I am leading a research team working in Insect Biotechnology field to reduce insect populations attack major crops in Egypt.
