Waterborne Pathogens

Dr. Prasad is Emeritus Professor, School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad (India). He has made outstanding contributions to the fields of bioremediation, bioresources, biomass energy sources, bioeconomy, and to the broad field of environmental biotechnology, all of which are his main areas of expertise. Dr. Prasad has served the Government of India’s Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change as a member of various advisory committees on biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services, pollution control and abatement, environmental information systems and bioremediation of contaminated sites. He is an active visiting scientist for several international universities. Dr. hab. Anna Grobelak is a Professor at the Częstochowa University of Technology, specializing in environmental protection, biodegradation, microbiology, and environmental chemistry. Her research focuses on advanced wastewater treatment technologies, pharmaceutical removal, microplastic analysis, and the application of cold plasma in treatment processes. Prof. Grobelak collaborates with various research institutions worldwide, enabling knowledge exchange and the development of innovative environmental solutions for both the fields of biotechnology and sustainable waste management.
