Born in Teramo on 13 October 1967, since March 2005 he hasbeen an associate professor of Animal Nutritionat the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Teramo. The teaching activity carried out concerns the nutrition of dogs and catsas part of the Master's Degree Course in Veterinary Medicine and the Degree Course in Animal Protection and Welfare. He wasscientific coordinator of the I and II level Masters on nutrition of dogs and cats and clinical dietetics of dogs and catsrespectively. He is a member of severalscientific societies in the field of food and animalnutrition. The scientific activity of Prof. Gramenzi, documented by the relative publications, of whichmanyhavebeenexamined by Referees of international and national congresses and journals, isdividedinto a series of researchesthatembrace the varioussectors of animalnutrition with particularregard to pet. The research activity, aimedatstudying the problems of pets, is of a multidisciplinarytype, in an attempt to integrate the characteristics of the individual, the breeding environment, management, nutrition and animal health. In particular, the following issueswereaddressed and studied in depth: • Nutritionalevaluation of petfoods: • Study of the intestinal microbiota of dogs and cats • Evaluation of the efficacy of probiotics in animal feed • In vitro models for the study of the intestinal microbiota • Role of Omega 3 fatty acids in dog and catnutrition • Lipidomicanalysis of membrane phospholipids

I am a full professor at Memorial’s Department of Ocean Sciences, where my integrative research program focuses on two main themes: 1) the environmental physiology/biology of north temperate fishes (e.g., Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, Arctic char, lumpfish, Atlantic cod, sablefish, wolf fish and cunner); and 2) improving culture conditions for, and the production of, finfish. This research uses a multi-level (whole animal, organ/tissue, cellular, genomic, epigenetic) approach to test hypotheses about how environmental conditions (temperature, oxygen, hydrostatic pressure, domestication) affect the physiology (metabolism, swimming performance, cardiovascular function and stress physiology) and immunology of various fishes, or how life history and ecology influence the design of physiological systems. Techniques utilized in this research include: respirometry for the measurement of fish metabolism/swimming ability; in vivo measurements of cardiovascular function, blood oxygen status and hormone levels; in situ measurements of heart performance; in vitro measurements of mitochondrial function, hormone receptors and vascular function; the use of telemetry and data loggers for measuring fish physiology and behaviour; and qPCR, RNAseq and microarray analyses of gene expression. This work is highly collaborative, and often involves working closely with multiple partners, including government agencies and companies. Most recently, this research has focused on: understanding how fish species are affected by the environmental challenges of accelerated climate change with the goal of informing management and conservation decisions; and mitigating the impacts of temperatures extremes temperatures (both high and low) and hypoxia (low water oxygen levels) on the Atlantic salmon and sablefish aquaculture industries. I have published over 125 articles in the primary literature, am the author of 6 review articles and 5 book chapters, and recently edited 2 volumes of the prestigious book series Fish Physiology. Further, I am currently the Program Co-Chair of the 2022 Aquaculture Association of Canada / WAS North America meeting (St. John’s, NL; Aug. 15 – 18), am the co-lead of the ‘Mitigating the Impact of Climate-Related Challenges on Salmon Aquaculture‘ (MICCSA) project, and am the lead scientist for two Ocean Frontier Institute aquaculture sub-modules (https://oceanfrontierinstitute.com/index.php?p=research/sustainable-aquaculture).

Ignatius Orwin Noronha, born on 4th July 1960 the Managing Director of Leowin Solutions Pvt. Ltd.,Mangalore has designed an unique product called ‘MozziQuit’ having 2 process patents granted in India. The simple and affordable machine, acts like a trap which attracts and kills female mosquitoes. However, unlike other mosquito repellents, the device MozziQuit is not hazardous for one’s health including cows/animals and is eco-friendly. He being a Serial Innovator have successfully demonstrated trapping of more than 100 million mosquitoes (count of more than 100 million is measured by the weight of dead mosquitoes filled in 10 PET Jars) by using his Innovative one MozziQuit device in cow shed in 3 months at lowest operating cost of less than $ 0.0015 cent per day only for power without using any chemicals or consumables or emission of any UV Radiation (1.08 minutes video in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIPPEbVy-_8&t=1s). Detailed Evaluation Report issued in October 2014 by Director of Research and Team of Professors of Karnataka Veterinary, Animal & Fisheries Sciences University of Bidar, India confirm Increase in Milk Yield as well as Increase in Weight of Cows/Bovines after using MozziQuit device in cow sheds benefitting all cow owners, all Milk Collection Unions and all Dairies to earn more income from Increased Milk Yield as well as contributing to strengthen the GDP of Nations. Article is published under title “Increase in Milk Yield and Weight of Bovines by using MozziQuit Mosquito Trap Device in Cow Sheds” in International Animal Health Journal https://international-animalhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Increase-in-Milk-Yield-and-Weight-of-Bovines-by-using.pdf. He is graduated in Commerce from St. Aloysius College, Mangalore, India. He had made firm resolution in his tender mind at his age of 5 or 10 to eliminate entire mosquito population on this earth when his Mother Irene Noronha who is now 89 years old answered to his question the reason for swelling in her left leg is due to Filariasis disease caused by mosquito bite while working in cow shed. Team of Scientists of Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and National Institute of Malaria Research (NIMR) have issued in February 2018 Field Evaluation Report on Trapping Performance of Mosquitoes in MozziQuit confirming trapping of all species/types of diseases spreading mosquitoes in MozziQuit device very useful to eliminate mosquito population in short span of time. Article is published under title “MozziQuit an Affordable and Proven Mosquito Trap Device to Eliminate all Blood Sucking Mosquitoes in Short Span of Time” in Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research (JETIR) https://www.jetir.org/papers/JETIR2004582.pdf. MozziQuit was displayed in 14th Annual Meeting of Roll Back Malaria Partnership to End Malaria at Geneva, Switzerland on 30 January to 1 February 2019 enabled Made in India’s MozziQuit to get into Prequalification Process in World Health Organisation. Roll Back Malaria Partnership have estimated cost of $ 100 Billion to be spent in 109 Malaria Infected Countries already identified by WHO to reduce Malaria to 90% by the year 2030. Serial Innovator Ignatius Orwin Noronha is on a Mission to eliminate entire mosquito population in 3 to 5 years at less than 1% cost of estimated $ 100 Billion by trapping and killing female mosquitoes every day before they could lay eggs to multiply using MozziQuit in every house, cow sheds and at external mosquito breeding locations. MozziQuit is been conferred with many Accreditations, Recognitions, Validations, Certificates and Awards of National and of International level including Gold Medal Award in DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Programme 2010 (Due Deligence by IC2 Institute, Global Commercialisation Group – The University of Austin at Texas, USA the Programme Managers of DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Programme), Grant in Millennium Alliance Round IV Awards, National Agripreneurs Award 2017, FICCI EXCELLENCE AWARDS 2018, Technovation Award – ISA Best Electronic Product of the year 2010.

My research concerns human immune cells responses to different pathogenic and nonpathogenic stimuli as well as the interaction of these cells with the surrounding nerves or vascular neighboring cells. So, my previous work within years of experiences in different scientific schools in Egypt, Finland and Germany focused on the responses of these cells to pathogens such as influenza viruses’ strains as well as signals from abnormal environmental contexts such like hyperglycemia or tumor cells. In this sense, I targeted diseases such as diabetes, influenza virus infection and cancers specifically the brain tumor glioblastoma. My last degree obtained from Cairo University is my PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences “Biochemistry”, holding at the moment the position of a researcher at the National Research Center of Egypt.
