The Faculty of Science and Technology welcomes Prof. Wesley Gray who has recently been appointed as Honorary Professor to the Biotechnology Centre. Prof. Gray is the Walter Dumas Endowed Professor of Environment Toxicology at the Southern University of Baton Rouge (SUBR). He has been collaborating with the Centre in support of its research and academic objectives since 2016 through an MOU agreement between UWI Mona and SUBR. The MOU resulted in the establishment of the SUBR-Mona Connect Program (SMCP) - an international program which includes sabbatical and faculty exchange visits, and a formal structure for reciprocal student exchanges. Prof. Gray’s collaboration with the Centre has already resulted in joint research proposals submitted for funding, and access to SUBR resources for the Centre’s graduate students. Professor Helen Asemota, Director of the UWI Biotechnology Centre, anticipates even greater collaboration and partnership with SUBR with Dr. Gray's appointment.
