Biographical: 1. Personal data Full Name: Sonia BEN YOUNES Gender: female Nationality: Tunisian Date of Birth: Born 13 January 1981 in Tunis Marital status: Single Institutional Address: Centre de Biotechnologie de Sfax, BP « 1177 » 3018, Tunisie Personnel Address : Ennaser II, Résidence Rihab Ennaser, Bloc C, Appart 7, 2037 Tunisie Language: Good ability to read, write and speak Arabic, French and English Computer skills: Word, Excel, Power point, ClustalW, Chemoffice, Hyper32, BioEdit, NemrodW Contact data: Tél. : + (216) 98 674 966 E-mail : benyounes_sonia@yahoo.fr 2. Academic degrees 2011: PhD in Biological Sciences, laboratory of Environmental Bioprocess, Centre of Biotechnology of Sfax-Tunisia 2006: International Master Degree in Microbial biodiversity and Continuous development (Provence and Mediterranean University, AIX-MARSEILLE I) 2005: Master degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology (Faculty of Sciences of Sfax- University of Sfax) 2003: License in life Sciences (Faculty of Sciences of Sfax- University of Sfax) 2000: Scientific Baccalaureate 3. Working experience Sonia Ben Younes has assured the teaching of the practicum of many courses such as : Biotechnology Cell and Tissue, Valorization products and by-products of animal origin, Molecular Biology, Molecular Biotechnology, Introduction to Biomolecules of interest, Structural Biochemistry and Cell Biology. 4. Research interests Since 2004, Sonia Ben Younes has focused her research on the improvement and the production of fungal laccase, on the purification and characterization of this enzyme and at developing new tools and technologies for biological treatment of pollutants. More recently (2011) this expertise was expanded to treat synthetic dyes, real effluent in erlenmeyers and in bioreactors. 5. SCIENTIFIC SKILLS • Microbiology: Enrichment, isolation and characterization of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, Fungi isolation, Production of ligninolytic enzyme, Toxicity assessment (phytotoxicity, cytotoxicity, microtoxicity) • Molecular biology: Extraction and purification of genomic DNA, PCR, Analysis of protein and DNA sequences. • Biochemistry: Measure of ligninolytic enzyme activities, Purification and characterization of laccases, Molecular characterization of fungi, Bio-chromatography, Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE and IEF), TLC • Wastewater treatment • Membrane technology (NF, MF, UF , RO) 6.
