Munish Puri is a Deputy Director and Associate Professor, Flinders
Centre for Marine Bioproducts Development, Medical Biotechnology,
School of Medicine, Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia. His
main research activities include a) microbial fermentation for
producing valuable enzymes and omega-3 fatty acids, b)
nutraceutical extraction for food supplementation, and c) use of
nanotechnology for enhancing thermostability of enzymes with
applications in bioprocessing. He holds a PhD in Industrial
Biotechnology from Punjabi University India (1994) and did his
post-doctoral training in the area of protein structures at
University of Oxford, UK (2001-02). He had the privilege of working
as a University of New South Wales Endeavour Fellow, at University
of Queensland, Australia (2004-05). Dr Puri has worked as a full
Professor/Associate Professor, Department of Biotechnology, Punjabi
University, India (2003-09) where he developed the area of enzyme
biotechnology before moving to Deakin University, Australia as a
Visiting Professor and Senior Research Fellow. He has served as the
laboratory head of industrial biotechnology at the Centre for
Chemistry and Biotechnology (CCB), Deakin University (2009-16) and
has significantly contributed towards the development of
bioprocessing research where emphasis was laid upon various
bioactives (enzymes/ proteins, sweeteners, omega-3 fatty acids and
carotenoids). He has contributed towards bioprospecting of novel
microorganisms for omega-3, lipids and enzyme production;
transformation of intermediates; expression and production peptides
& therapeutic proteins; and immobilizing lipases for the production
of omega-3 acid production.
Dr Puri has published more than 108 scientific articles, including
91 peer-reviewed journal papers, 3 patents, and 14 book chapters,
mainly in high impact factor biotechnology/ applied microbiology
journals. A large number of his publications fall within the
discipline ofindustrial biotechnology and listed in ISI web of
Science subject category “Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology”.
He has supervised 16 PhD dissertations, 30 MSc theses, and about 10
undergraduate projects.
In November 2015, he was admitted as a Fellow of Royal Society of
Chemistry (FRSC), UK based on his contribution to the discipline.
