Murray Moo-Young

Murray Moo-Young has made significant contributions to several areas of biochemical engineering research. He has been a pioneer in the establishment of quantitative correlations for mass-transfer, mixing and biokinetics in bioreactor systems which led to an increased understanding and appreciation of the principles underlying the design, operation, optimization and scale-up of these systems. In addition, he has demonstrated the applicability of these principles in the development of process biotechnologies, especially those which rely on the efficient cultivation of fragile-cell cultures, in the production of a wide range of bioproducts including pharmaceuticals, biopolymers and foodstuffs. More recently, Murray has extended his research to the elucidation of bioremediation enhancement, by physicochernical pretreatment strategies, for environmental pollution control and abatement.
