Mr. Balaji A. Aglave was born in Yermala, Maharashtra, India. He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Sciences, 2002 and Master of Science degree in Agricultural Biotechnology, 2004 from Marathwada Agricultural University, Parbhani Maharashtra (India). His Ph.D. was in Biotechnology with specialization in Plant Pathology and he obtained the degree from Government Institute of Science, Aurangabad, Maharashtra (India) in 2009. After completing his master's education, Mr. Aglave worked for National Research Center for Citrus, Nagpur M.S. India as a Senior Research Fellow. As a Senior Research Fellow, his areas of study were molecular and serological diagnosis of citrus viruses, diagnosis and characterization of major citrus viruses, development of non-radioactive probes and diagnostic kits for plant virus detection. In 2005, he was hired as the Head of the Department of Biotechnology by H.P.T.Arts and RYK Science College, Nashik, M.S. India (University of Pune). He worked as Head of the Department for 4years after which, in 2010, he was hired by Florida Ag Research as a Scientist and Lab Director for Division of Plant Pathology and Nematology at East Coast research station of Pacific Ag Research, San Luis Obispo, CA, USA. In addition to his Ph.D., he mastered the area of plant nematology by completing Plant Parasitic Nematode Identification course at Clemson University. Dr. Aglave is an expert in plant diseases and common plant parasites, and his insights in these topics are invaluable to the field. Presently, his work as Scientist and Lab Director aims at developing innovative technologies to improve crop production and environmental quality, testing product effectiveness against nematodes and diseases, studying crop/fruit rot and decay, soil fumigation studies, etc.

Dr. Aglave has published two books, viz. "Biotechnology Review", A&A Publisher, Tampa, Fl, USA, in 2012 and "Techniques in Chemistry, biophysics and Instrumentation", Shanti Prakashan, Delhi, India, in 2011. From 2012, he has been working as an active member of various well reputed committees like the Industry Committee, Nematology Committee and Soil Microbiology and Root Disease committee of American Phytopathology Society.
