Dr. Alumanda Dela Rosa is recognized for her research in radiation biochemistry. Her main research areas include, among others, radiation chemistry for the development of products from indigenous natural polymers using radiation, environmental chemistry and coastal pollution due to heavy metals and harmful algal blooms. Her work on the membrane vesicles isolated from Escherichia coli finds applications in areas of biological research like radiation carcinogenesis, radiation therapy, and food irradiation. She is also known for her significant contribution in enhancing the rate of saccharification of cellulosic wastes. Her scientific work was recognized by the Philippine Scientific Career Council (SCC) with her conferment of the rank of Career Scientist IV in 1991 – the highest rank so far conferred by the SCC. Ms Dela Rosa holds a PhD from the University of Hawaii.

Dr. Thomas Edison Dela Cruz is recognized of his significant contributions in the study of fungal diversity in the country in particular on the under explored myxomycetes, dictyostelids, fruticose lichens, mangrove fungi and marine fungi. He isolated novel natural products that can be developed into new drugs. His research also depicted the role marine fungi play in ice-ice disease formation among cultivated seaweeds. This information could be useful in devising control measures for this disease. His research projects on myxomycetes and dictyostelids as well as on the fruticose lichens revealed many new records for the country updating the records to 130 including one species new to science and three new records of dictyostelids.
