Comment: This page was moved back to a draft so the author could improve it. Unfortunately rather than doing this it was resubmitted without any chsnged. I see no reason to change the prior comments/criticisms. If it is submitted the same another time it might be best to reject it. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Dear Ldm1954, The team of Prof. Amir Sagi approached a group that offered to write an article about him for a fee and it turned out that they fell victim to fraud and deception, and the result is what appears on this page. I am one of the retirees of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and am also engaged in writing articles on the Hebrew Wikipedia, but I also have some experience in writing and editing on the English Wikipedia. The department of research contracts at our university heard about me in this context, and the fraud that Amir Sagi's team fell into their network, and they asked me if I could help. I had no connection with what has been written so far, and my acquaintance with Prof. Amir Sagi is also very loose. Prof. Amir Sagi's team is in contact with Shaun from Legal Enforcement ( legal_enforcement@wikimedia.org ) to help him track down the fraudsters. May I ask you to bring about a complete deletion of this draft, and I will try to start all over, and in a much more proper way. Thank you so much in advance, Ronavni (talk) 11:18, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Amir Sagi (Hebrew: אמיר שגיא, born May 22, 1956) is a professor of life sciences at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, whose field of expertise is crustacean biology, physiology, endocrinology, and functional genomics. He contributed to the study of sexual differentiation and growth.
Early life and education[edit]
Research and career[edit]
The work conducted by Sagi and his research team has made significant contributions to the field of decapod crustacean biology, particularly in the areas of genetics and sex differentiation. Their research led to the discovery of the insulin-like androgenic hormone (IAG), a crucial secretion of the androgenic gland in decapod crustaceans. This discovery has been pivotal in understanding the processes of sex differentiation and the signaling cascade associated with it, shedding light on the biological development of these species.
Further extending the implications of their findings, Sagi's team has developed biotechnologies for the production of monosex prawns.
Patents[edit]
Sagi has obtained patents for his inventions including Insulin-like gene of prawns and uses thereof (AU2009211046B9), Delivery peptides and methods of using the same (US20220204563A1), Stable amorphous calcium carbonate comprising synthetic phosphorylated peptides (US10328100B2), Amorphous calcium carbonate for the treatment of calcium malabsorption and metabolic bone disorders (US10688124B2), Composition comprising crustacean gastrolith components and its use (US8728533B2), Orally administrable compositions comprising stable amorphous calcium carbonate (ES2447747T3), Denitrification treatment system and method (WO2007138604A3), Sex-linked genomic marker for crayfish and uses thereof (WO2019058371A1), Insulin-like gene in prawns and uses thereof (WO2009098683A2), Functional sex-reversal of decapod crustacean females (AU2015346969A1), WW homogametic male decapod crustacean and methods of using the same (US10791721B2), Insulin-like gene in prawns and uses thereof (US20120073508A1).
