Filipino chemist

Dr. Quirino O. Navarro, a Filipino chemist born March 29 1936, graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at the University of the Philippines in 1956, He recieved his Ph.D. in Nuclear Chemistry at the University of California in 1962. Dr. Navarro's significant contribution to science is the determination of nuclear properties in the isotopes of californium, einsteinium and dysprosium using cryogenic techniques. His findings were cited in two books and three international tomes of nuclear science and later confirmed at the University of California at Berkeley with the use of advanced instrumentation. Dr. Navarro has also worked on neutron spectrometry and crystallography; and electronics and instrumentation process.

Evelyn Mae T. Mendoza

Dr. Evelyn Mae T. Mendoza She was recognized because of her continuous basic studies in plant biochemistry particularly, one the biochemical basis of the makapuno phenotype of coconut; on the factors affecting the nutritional worth and suitability of cow pea, mung-bean and numerous under utilized Philippine indigenous legumes, cassava and sweet potato; and on the biochemical source of resistance of preferred plants to pest or illness. Dr. Evelyn Mae Mendoza was born on August 7, 1947.
Jose O. Juliano

Dr. Jose O. Juliano is a famous Filipino scientist, born on October 16th 1932, and most famous for his research into nuclear chemistry and physics. He received a TONYM award for his involvements in this field in 1959. He is also an affiliate of the American Nuclear Society, American Physical Society and the American Chemical Society. Through his contributions a better understanding of nuclear science has come about. He has published a remarkable fifty print research works, and a one of the most notable examples is 'Rapid and Nondestructive Analysis of Sulfur and Calcium by Radio activation and Photo neutron Counting and Disintegration of Iron-52 and Iron-53.'
Bienvinido O. Juliano

Bienvenido O. Juliano is a National Scientist who focused on the properties of starch.

Lourdes J. Cruz

Dr. Lourdes Cruz has published over 120 scientific papers, and has contributed greatly to the understanding of the biochemistry of toxic peptides gathered from the venom of fish-hunting Conus marine snails. Her studies contributed to the characterization of over 50 biologically active peptides, which were later used as biochemical probes for examining the activities of the human brain. In 2001, she established the Rural Livelihood Incubator, a program which aimed to alleviate poverty and socio-political instability in the rural areas by giving job and livelihood opportunities to their people.
