Profile of the Expert
Ms. Anesta Augustin has served as a bioechnologist working with the tissue culture laboratory for some years before taking over the management of that laboratory. She has recently attended a training course in the US, courtesy of the US Department of Agriculture(USDA) in Agricultural Biotechnology. She also did a short term attachment in Chile on GMO detection in laboratories. Ms Augustin will assist the country in establishing its first GMO lab detection facility that will be in the interim associated with the tissue culture laboratory and will have oversight management of that facility. Ms. Augustin also sits on the National Coordinating Committee of the Biosafety Implementation Project. It is expected that Ms Augustin will provide assistance in risk assessment and management for biosafety as the country establishes its biosafety systems.
