Dr Wan-Mohtar is a senior lecturer and fermentation technologist at Institute of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, University of Malaya, Malaysia. He graduated from Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, Glasgow under the supervision of fungal fermentation expert Prof Brian McNeil and Prof Linda Harvey. His field of interest is on extended liquid fermentation and microbiology of mushrooms which rooted from BSc in Microbiology (Local Basidiomycetes), MSc in Food Biotechnology (Bioprocessing) and PhD in Fermentation Technology (Ganoderma lucidum). He has his expertise in mushroom liquid cultivation in order to boost the supply of the natural therapeutic compound thus improving health and well-being through G. lucidum. His optimisation of extended batch fermentation and sulphated glucan from G. lucidum mycelium creates potential pathways for replacing the singular-function synthetic drugs via ‘’quad-functional’’ sulphated glucan. He has built this idea after years of experience in research, evaluation, teaching and administration both in laboratories and educational institutions.
