Mohamed Attia obtained his B.Sc. in Pharmacy from Alexandria University, Egypt. He then completed his M.Sc. in the Department of Biological Sciences at University of Calgary where he studied the biosynthetic pathway of the sweet sesquiterpene hernandulcin from Lippia dulcis leaves [1]. He then pursued his Ph.D. in the Department of Chemistry at University of British Columbia under the supervision of ^^^Harry Brumer^^^. During his Ph.D., Mohamed extensively studied the xyloglucan degradation pathway in the soil saprophyte Cellvibrio japonicus and he successfully identified and functionally characterized a large suite of glycoside hydrolases from families GH3 [2], GH5 [3] and GH74 [4] that are fundamentally involved in the saccharification process.
