Professor Godfrey Kyazze, Professor of Sustainable Bioprocess Engineering at the University of Westminster’s School of Life Sciences, has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology (RSB).
The Royal Society of Biology is a single unified voice for biology that advises the Government and influences policy, advances education and professional development and encourages public interest in life sciences. Fellowship of the RSB (FRSB) is the most prestigious grade of membership, awarded to members who have demonstrated a notable contribution to the fields of biological research, teaching or the application of biology.
Since joining Westminster in 2009, Professor Kyazze has educated hundreds of undergraduate and postgraduate students as Course Leader for the Applied Biotechnology MSc programme and module leader for Fermentation Technology and Sustainable Biotechnology. Professor Kyazze is also Co-Leader of the Sustainable Biotechnology Research Group and Co-Coordinator of the Westminster Biotechnology Research Internship Scheme, reflecting his dedication to developing the next generation of bioscientists.
His pioneering research focuses on harnessing biological systems for water treatment, sustainable energy production and waste valorisation, with projects involving bio-electrochemical systems such as microbial fuel cells and fermentation technology. Professor Kyazze’s election as an FRSB is an acknowledgement of his outstanding contributions to biology and biotechnology.
About the Fellowship Professor Kyazze said: “I’m honoured to be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology. This recognition reflects not only my journey but also the incredible collaborations and students I’ve had the privilege to work with. I remain deeply committed to advancing sustainable biotechnologies that address global challenges through innovation, education and partnership.”
Professor Kyazze’s work directly contributes to several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, 7: Affordable and Clean Energy and 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Since 2019, the University of Westminster has used the SDGs holistically to frame strategic decisions to help students and colleagues fulfil their potential and contribute to a more sustainable, equitable and healthier society.
