Dr. Isao Noda was born in Tokyo, Japan on January 29, 1951. He moved to the United States in 1969 and was graduated from Columbia University in the New York City in 1974 with B.S. degree in chemical engineering. He subsequently received his M.S. in bioengineering (1976), as well as M. Phil (1978) and Ph.D. (1979) in chemical engineering from Columbia. In 1997, he received D.Sc degree in chemistry from the University of Tokyo. He currently holds ninety patents granted in the US[1] and the EU, has published over three hundred articles, co-authored three books and received a number of industry wide awards and recognition for his contributions to these fields of interest.[2] In 1978, Noda joined Procter & Gamble, where he became one of the world's leading authorities in the field of polymer science,[3] specializing in a type of biopolymer, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). Noda pioneered development of medium-chain-length branched polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA).[4] The most promising PHA product developed during this time was trademarked as Nodax.[5] After retiring from Procter & Gamble in 2012, he accepted a position as Adjunct Professor at the University of Delaware, where he currently continues to teach and research in the areas of polymer science and spectroscopy. Noda is known for developing a novel class of bio-based biodegradable plastics and also a versatile analytical technique called two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) correlation spectroscopy.[6] In February of 2013, he became Senior Vice President of Innovation at Meredian Holdings Group, Inc. [1] Meredian recently announced startup of the world's largest production facility for mcl-PHAs.[7]
