Dr. Masume Kamali: Leading Researcher in Natural resources engineering

Summary:

Dr. Masume Kamali holds a bachelor’s degree in fisheries from Zabol University in Iran. She earned her master’s and doctoral degrees in fisheries from Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, where she graduated with honors and served as a thesis advisor. As a lecturer at Payam Noor University in North Khorasan, she contributed to educational workshops and holds several certificates of participation.

With a focus on extracting bioactive compounds from fishery products, Dr. Kamali has made notable contributions to research. During her doctoral studies, she successfully prevented and controlled black spot in shrimp by extracting sulfated polysaccharide from a green algae of the Caspian Sea. This natural substance proves to be a promising alternative to allergenic and chemical sodium metabisulfite.

Dr. Kamali’s research portfolio includes two Q1 articles in prestigious journals and various scientific and conference articles. She has completed a university research project and a semi-industrial project, showcasing her commitment to advancing knowledge. Currently seeking a postdoctoral position, her future goals revolve around creating knowledge-based and technological products from fishery by-products. This vision aligns with fostering entrepreneurship, addressing societal needs through product localization, and contributing to a sustainable economy. Dr. Kamali envisions the commercialization and international export of these innovative products, marking a transformative shift from traditional education and research to entrepreneurship and societal impact.
