Dilfuza Egamberdieva is a scientist in the field of agriculture using microbiology. She is the CEO and founder of Ecobiome R&D Ltd. Head of Biological Research and Food Safety Lab.
Context of Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan's soil was contaminated due to the long durations of unsustainable cotton cultivation during the Soviet Union era (1920-1990s)[1].
Egambirdiyeva argues,"Cotton production requires extensive use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers accompanied by over irrigation of the fields. This eventually led to the drying up by half of the Aral Sea and resulted in such widespread soil damage that other crops are compromised. Because plants are under saline or water imbalance, they become more vulnerable to diseases caused by pathogenic fungi. It is clear that the situation could be largely improved by replacing the chemicals with environmentally friendly biologicals…biofertilizers[1]".
The soil had issues in its salinity causing plants to become more vulnerable to diseases due to stress from water imbalance [2].The Aral Sea would become known as the desert called Aralkum.
Early Life and Education
Egamberdieva was born in Uzbekistan. Her dream was to turn those contaminated soil back into healthy fertile soil for agriculture again.
Egamberdieva graduated in biology from the National University of Uzbekistan and received her PhD in Agricultural Sciences from the Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany. She would conduct her postdoctoral studies at Helsinki University of Finland, University of Florence (Italy), Manchester Metropolitan University (UK), Leiden University of Netherlands, and Centre of Agricultural Landscape Research (Germany).
Career
In 2007, Egamberdieva would established the first research lab in Uzbekistan called Ecobiome R&D.
Research
Egamberdieva research is on soil microbiome which demonstrated that microbe can be use as a biostimulators, and control agent as an alternative to agrochemical in hostile environment. Some other researches is on plant stress tolerance, soil biology, and microbial diversity [3].
