Prof. Dr. Moulay Mustapha Ennaji is a Moroccan and Canadian citizen and native of Marrakesh (Morocco). He is a scientist specializing in the fields of virology, hygiene, and microbiology and currently a Professor in Virology and Oncology at the University of Casablanca, and Since 2010, he has been the Director of the Quality and Medical Biotechnologies Team at the Laboratory of Virology Microbiology, Quality, Biotechnologies. He leads the Virology Oncology and Medical Biotechnology Team is and Deputy Director of the Research Centre of Natural Resources and Food (rensa) of UH2C. He has also been responsible for the master programs in biotechnology and biomedical technologies (2003), DESA of Microbiology and Bioengineering (2005-2010), Masters of Science and Technology in Microbiology, Applied Virology and Bio-industry Engineering, and MST of Livings in Immuno-Virology and Applied Microbiology (2010 to 2015). He received a MSc in 1986 and a PhD in virology in 1993 from Armand Frappier Institute, University of Quebec (Canada). Between 1991 and 1993 he completed a post doctorate at the Canadian Red Cross. From 1993 to 1995, he was a research associate (RA) and from 1995 to 1996 and a research officer (RO) at the National Council of Research of Canada (CNRC). He was also a visiting researcher at the University of California, Irvine in the United States and a lecturer at the Histochemistry Institutes of Paris (France). He was a guest researcher of the Franklin AU:1 Foundation in USA NIH Bethesda. He has published 61 journals articles and is an editorial board member of the journal, Infectious Agents and Cancer. As a scientist concerned with research development, he had been given numerous lectures in virology, cancerology, hygiene, and microbiology since 1986 at many Moroccan, Canadian, and American universities. Throughout his career, Dr. Ennaji has been rewarded 24 awards. He has organized numerous national and international meetings in the fields of virology, microbiology, and hygiene. At present, he is the vice president of the three Moroccan societies of Biosafety, Cancer, and Microbiology.
