Dr. Reynaldo V. Ebora obtained his Ph.D in Entomology from Michigan State University, East Lansing Michigan, USA in 1995. Dr. Ebora also completed a post graduate Fellowship on Intellectual Property Management and Technology Transfer from ISAAA AmeriCenter, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA in 2001. He finished the International Post Graduate Course in Microbiology at the Osaka University, Osaka, Japan in 1988. Dr. Ebora completed his M.S. Entomology (Insect Pathology/Microbial Control) at the University of the Philippines Los Baños in 1987 where he also completed his B.S. in Agriculture (Entomology) in 1982. At present, Dr. Ebora is a Research Associate Professor at the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (BIOTECH), University of the Philippines Los Baños and is currently on secondment to the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
