The development of the programme were conceived because of the urgent necessity of the UWI and the Caribbean region to immediately invest in biotechnology, which is considered to be the most promising and fastest-growing technology of the present era. The field of biotechnology is recognised for its potential to offer solutions to worldwide problems, from food security and health to clean energy and environmental sustainability. Situated in a strategic location, Trinidad and Tobago and rest of the Caribbean have the unique advantage to explore this growing global demand in biotechnology. This postgraduate programme will provide the basic expertise, skill sets, necessary infrastructure and knowledge base which would serve to ultimately build capacity in this region. It would create avenues for advanced research and enhance intellectual capacity to enable the development of industrial and business activity, leading to generation of employment opportunities in this frontier field.
