I am a biologist, graduating the Faculty of Biology of Bucharest in 1993 magna cum laudae. The doctoral thesis (2002) focused in vitro morphogenesis processes for tropical plants and my habilitation thesis (2019) focused on the red listing methodology development for crops in Romania and the EU. My experience in laboratory working is as following: one year microbiology in industrial research, 4 years in plant biotechnology for ornamentals and potato, 8 years in Romanian Academy for plant cell physiology including cell signaling, 3 years in the Ministry of Environment running the service for biodiversity with 18 public servant and 15 years in higher education teaching biotechnology, genetics and biodiversity conservation. I run 2 international projects (UNEP and EU) and get involved either running either as a member for more than 28 projects. I wrote over 35 books and chapters and more than 100 scientific papers most of them in Romanian Journals. I am the author of one patent and two international awards (Curitiba, 2007 and Rotterdam 2019). I love philosophy, and look for applying certain principles in science too as well as in education. Next year I will coordinate for my university as a partner a Horizon project RIBES Inclusive Biobased Entrepeneurship Solution that will strat in 2024
