Notă biografică
Zeno Garban – Ph.D., consulting professor of Biochemistry and Molecular biology, senior researcher, currently corresponding member of the Romanian Academy. He is member of some national and international scientific associations as well as of the editorial boards of some journals.
His educational background includes engineering studies at the University of “Life Sciences” Timişoara - Faculty of Agronomy, followed by the graduation of chemistry studies at the “Babeş-Bolyai” University Cluj-Napoca - Faculty of Chemistry. Afterwards, he defended his doctoral thesis and obtained the Ph.D. degree in chemistry (biochemistry).
Prof. Garban has an impressive research activity encompassing a broad spectrum of domains starting with comparative animal physiology (focusing on blood circulation – lactopoiesis, electrophoretic studies); neuroendocrine interrelationships in animal vasectomy: ethanol in teratology (on animal models) etc. He conducted studies in biochemistry and molecular biology, on specific interactions of DNA with various substances (metal ions, cytostatic drugs - in vitro and in vivo); the metabolization of nutrients and biotransformation of chemical xenobiotics of nutritional and pharmaceutical interest; the role of chemical xenobiotics in nutrition and pathobiochemistry. Professor Garban was doctoral advisor in the domain of chemistry (biochemistry) at the Polytechnic University of Timisoara.
His scientific activity was focused on the domains of food science, approaching the complex problems of metallomics and proteomics. The interdisciplinary character has been put into evidence both in the published articles and in books and treatises.
These achievements resulted in an intense publishing activity with over 380 scientific papers in the country and abroad, 32 books (28 as single author); chapters in books published by Pergamon Press-Oxford (1984), Libbey-London (1997), Wiley-VCH-Weinheim (2004). His most important works are represented by the books: «Biochemistry: Comprehensive Treatise» - four volumes, published in five editions (in Romanian); «Molecular biology: Concepts, methods, appplications» (in Romanian) – awarded with the “Traian Savulescu” Prize of the Romanian Academy; «Quo vadis food xenobiochemistry» - three editions (the last one in English).
Professor Garban initiated and organized the International symposium “Metal Elements in Environment, Medicine and Biology” and was co-editor of the published 10 proceedings tomes. His scientific activity in the last few years included the biologically active substances of nutritional and pharmaceutical interest.
Formerly, as full professor, has also been involved in university teaching at the Faculty of Food Products Technology of the University of Life Sciences Timişoara. He held courses in biochemistry, molecular biology, nutrition and food xenobiochemistry.
Dr. Eng. Gheorghe Ilia graduated “Polytechnica” University Timisoara as chemical engineer, and earned PhD in chemistry at the same university. Senior Researcher at “Coriolan Dragulescu” Institute of Chemistry Timisoara part of Romanian Academy and Professor at West University Timisoara, Chemistry Doctoral School as PhD coordinator. He published more than 315 papers in per reviewed journals, 11 books and 17 chapter books in domestic and abroad publishing houses. Fields of expertise: phosphorus-containing polymers obtained by polycondensation or radical polymerization and their use in biomedical applications, as flame retardants, or as solid polymer electrolytes for electrochemical devices (Li polymer batteries or fuel cells); organic–inorganic hybrids based on phosphorus derivatives using sol-gel method or by grafting on inorganic supports with potential applications in catalysis; MOF’s based on phosphorus derivatives; green synthesis of phosphorus compounds; biological active substances especially plant growth bioregulators. Associate Editor-Current Green Chemistry; Editorial board member– Current Catalysis.
