Eden Research appoints new head of regulatory affairs

Eden Research plc (AIM: EDEN), a leader in sustainable biopesticide and biocontrol technology, announced the appointment of Ilshad Moulan as the Company's new Head of Regulatory Affairs. Ilshad will bring his experience in the agrochemical sector to lead Eden Research's regulatory strategy and execution, helping to ensure the successful global registration of its innovative crop protection solutions. 

Ilshad has strong expertise in regulatory affairs management having led teams and managed complex projects across the industry. With a BSc degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology and an MSc degree in Crop Protection and Regulatory Science, his strong scientific background complements his regulatory expertise.

At Dr. Knoell Consult Ltd, Ilshad led a team of nine, focusing on regulatory affairs. His career began at Agrauxine, where he played a key role in developing dossiers for biopesticide active ingredients and formulated plant protection products. Additionally, his previous roles at Evergreen Garden Care and Battelle involved supporting and managing regulatory submissions for conventional active ingredients and formulated products.

Ilshad will be based at Eden Research's headquarters in Oxfordshire and will begin his new role immediately. He succeeds Dr. Mike Carroll who will retire at the end of a handover period. Mike has served as Eden's first-ever regulatory leader and played a key role in not only establishing Eden's in-house regulatory capabilities, but in successfully expanding the regulatory authorisations for Eden's existing and new products. 

Sean Smith, CEO of Eden Research, added:

"We are delighted to welcome Ilshad to our team. His extensive background in regulatory affairs, combined with his leadership skills, will be a tremendous asset as we continue to navigate the complex regulatory landscape and bring our sustainable biopesticide products to market.  At the same time, we thank Mike for all of his contributions over the past four years.  His experience and leadership have been helpful in propelling our business forward and expanding our geographical footprint, and we are grateful for all his contributions. We wish Mike all the best for a long, happy retirement."
