Biologically Active Substances Usable in Food, Pharmaceutical and Agrobiological Fields (PDF)

These achievements resulted in an intense publishing activity with over 380 scientific papers in the country and abroad, 32 books (28 as single author); chapters in books published by Pergamon Press-Oxford (1984), Libbey-London (1997), Wiley-VCH-Weinheim (2004). His most important works are represented by the books: «Biochemistry: Comprehensive Treatise» - four volumes, published in five editions (in Romanian); «Molecular biology: Concepts, methods, appplications» (in Romanian) - awarded with the "Traian Savulescu" Prize of the Romanian Academy; «Quo vadis food xenobiochemistry» - three editions (the last one in English).

Professor Garban initiated and organized the International symposium "Metal Elements in Environment, Medicine and Biology" and was co-editor of the published 10 proceedings tomes. His scientific activity in the last few years included the biologically active substances of nutritional and pharmaceutical interest.

Formerly, as full professor, has also been involved in university teaching at the Faculty of Food Products Technology of the University of Life Sciences Timisoara. He held courses in biochemistry, molecular biology, nutrition and food xenobiochemistry.

Dr. Eng. Gheorghe Ilia graduated "Polytechnica" University Timisoara as chemical engineer, and earned PhD in chemistry at the same university. Senior Researcher at "Coriolan Dragulescu" Institute of Chemistry Timisoara part of Romanian Academy and Professor at West University Timisoara, Chemistry Doctoral School as PhD coordinator. He published more than 315 papers in per reviewed journals, 11 books and 17 chapter books in domestic and abroad publishing houses. Fields of expertise: phosphorus-containing polymers obtained by polycondensation or radical polymerization and their use in biomedical applications, as flame retardants, or as solid polymer electrolytes for electrochemical devices (Li polymer batteries or fuel cells); organic-inorganic hybrids based on phosphorus derivatives using sol-gel method or by grafting on inorganic supports with potential applications in catalysis; MOF's based on phosphorus derivatives; green synthesis of phosphorus compounds; biological active substances especially plant growth bioregulators.
