4. A Short BioSketch of Prof. Simon’s Research and Development ActivitiesSimon serves as Director of the New Use Agriculture and Natural Plant Products Program (NUANPP), Rutgers University, which seeks to identify new crop

opportunities, new applications of bioactive and nutritious plant compounds and new products from fruits, vegetables, herbs and most recently from marine organisms. Simon has co-led botanical cores of three NIH programs, (i) Purdue University and University of Alabama National Botanical Center on Age Related Diseases (2000-2011); (ii) NIH Center of Excellence for Research on Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Alzheimer’s disease on the protective roles provided by grape derived polyphenolic compounds led by Mt. Sinai Medical School (2007-2014); and (iii) Mt. Sinai Medical School led Botanical Center for Dietary Polyphenols in the Preservation and Promotion of Cognitive and Psychological Resiliency (2015-2020) and served as the university PI or co-PI on additional NIH SBIRs.

Simon is currently leading or co-leading several USDA projects in plant genetics and breeding of basil for downy mildews and fusarium wilt resistance. Simon has been involved in the breeding and crop improvement of several aromatic plants and culinary herbs (basil, catnip, oregano) and with other minor/orphan high value ethnic crops such as amaranth, edible nightshades and spiderplants.

Internationally, Simon began conducting collaborative research in sub-Sahara Africa over 30 years ago, initially in South Africa on new essential oils from indigenous plants in the Eastern Province, to working on introducting into cultivation indigenous herbal teas such as honeybush and rooibos to rural poor communities in the Western Cape. It was there we began to develop our market-first, science driven models of commercialization to improve food security and income generating opportunities. With the success achieved, slowly we expanded and introduced similar models into other countries in southern, eastern and western Africa using a wider variety of plants, crops and plant-based processed products that range from NonTimber Forest Products (botanicals and medicinals), to spices (culinary herbs, chillis, paprika, African Birds Eye Peppers), to fresh market vegetables and most recently to indigenous vegetables. Simon served as PI for Partnerships in Food Industry Development for Natural Products (www.pfidnp.org), a US university-led USAID funded program which has facilitated the commercialization of natural products and horticultural crops for small African farmers in sub-Sahara Africa using our market-driven and scientific model of development for which we engage local NGOs and university to serve as the coordinating and implementing partners in Africa. Simon was an original author for the WHO Guidelines on Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) for Medicinal Plants and has experience and programs in international research in sub-Sahara Africa (Cameroon, Ghana, Liberia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Namibia, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Zambia) and Israel. Simon was the PI at Rutgers in a major USAID funded project in Liberia (Excellence in Higher Education for Liberian Development revamping the School of Engineering at University of Liberia and the College of Agriculture & Sustainable Development, Cuttington University); leads the horticultural nutrition project sponsored by the USAID Horticulture Innovation Lab in Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia (with Purdue University, Steve Weller as co-PI); and serves as the Rutgers PI on a similar USAID project to support the Higher Educational Institutions in El Salvador. His work incorporates and engages faculty and graduate students from both Rutgers as well as from partnering universities and research institutes. He was the 2012 winner of the BIFAD award for research excellence and impact for USAID CRSP programs. Simon is nationally and internationally recognized as one of the leading global horticultural and medicinal and aromatic plant authorities with specialization in natural products and quality control and developing strong linkages between the

2

university and private sector for commercialization. Simon’s strength and interest is in bringing together multi-discplinary teams of faculty, universities and the public and private sector into strategic partnerships that build new or strengthen ongoing international programs and encompass the entire ecosystem with a focus on sustinable development of indigenous plants to improve health and nutrition.
