SUMMARY STATEMENT

Currently I am the Pro Chancellor at KL deemed University, India, and I am involved in the transformation of the University into one with a Global model bringing innovations as its distinguishing feature and building the Brain Research Centre. In April of 2010, I was selected through an open contest, posted in the scientific journal Nature, to become the CEO, Director and Distinguished Professor of the Institute of Scientific Research and High Technology Services (INDICASAT AIP) in the Republic of Panama. My advocacy resulted in the construction of a $30 million research facility known as PRISM (Panamanian Research Institutes of Science and Medicine) completed in 2014. By prioritizing scientific performance and productivity the institute increased its number of publications and its global impact (by over 200%) to become the most productive Panamanian scientific research institute in the country. For developing countries to be successful in a globalized world of science, technology, and innovation, an aggressive model of institutional development was put to practice which included international collaborations, cultivation of advanced education for innovation, and growth in translational/clinical research. My efforts in building science as a tool for development in emerging countries are highlighted in Nature Blog http://blogs.nature.com/tradesecrets/2012/05/14/panamas-east-west-duo, The Business Year 2016-2018, and Nature 2011.

INSTITUTION BUILDING EXPERIENCE

  • My mission in Panama was to play a key role in building INDICASAT AIP as a model biomedical institution in the country in Interdisciplinary Sciences, with a social impact. All my scientists and doctoral students worked in English, despite Spanish being the official language, which was a unique experimental model in Latin America.
  • In order to create a sustainable ecosystem of research and innovation, students and education are fundamental. As soon as I arrived in Panama, I started the first Ph.D. program in Biotechnology in English, in Latin America. We have since grown academic programs in local and international universities at the MD, Ph.D. and MD/Ph.D. levels.
  • The institute published 750 papers since my arrival in 2010, in high impact journals such as Nature Methods, Nature Biotechnology, PNAS, Lancet, PLOS Med, PLOS Pathogens, Marine Drugs, Molecular Neurobiology, Biomaterials, The Lancet, Biochemica et Biophysica Acta and more, for a total number of citations above 60,000.
  • I reorganized the institute into six centres, a) Centre for Biodiversity and Drug Discovery, b) Centre for Neuroscience,
  • c) Centre for Cell and Molecular Biology of diseases, d) Centre for Clinical Trials and Translational Medicine (which has conducted work for GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, Novartis, PPD and others), e) Centre for Technology Transfer and Innovation Startups, and f) Centre for Academic Affairs. The Institute also developed patents and products and proposed to build the “Innova Parque Panama” in the interior of the country.
  • The Institute attracted funds from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Phase 1 and first institute to get a Phase 2 grant in Latin America), NIH-USA, UK Foreign Affairs Grants, MRC-UK, ICGEB, NSF-USA, Alzheimer’s Foundation, GEF, etc. The institute also attracted for the first time local philanthropic donations of US$ 0.7 million for Brain Research and 0.2 million for Tuberculosis investigation.
  • The Institute provided special research training to undergraduates and masters’ degree students to familiarize them with innovation. The faculty got involved in training school students under a Young Scientists program created by us: first-of-its kind in Panama.
  • The University of Texas, El Paso, approved to start a joint Ph.D. program with the institute which was a milestone for the region.
  • The Institute became the top model for advancement of science in Central America. Based on its performance, US News showcased my work and named me as one of the best CEOs (www.us-television.tv/articles/indicasat,hybiz.tv). I am covered in the news in the magazine The Business Year 2016, 2017 and 2018 as a global education leader. I was invited by Ministries of Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Uruguay and USA Institutions like Baylor Medical School, Methodist Institute in Texas, University of Texas at El Paso, UTMB in Galveston, and University of South Florida, to present the success story of the institute.
  • From the time I took over until I left, the institute attracted a total of 75 adjunct faculty members from all over the world, including Nobel Laureate Prof. Robert Huber as Distinguished Professor since Feb 2016.
  • My plans for bringing world class science to Panama led me to work very hard in attracting UNIDO associated research body, ICGEB-Italy to select INDICASAT to start a Regional Research Centre in Panama in 2020. By bringing ICGEB, we would make Panama an International Science hub for the region. Country agreements are currently being negotiated. Additionally, I lead the negotiations for the future establishment of the Beijing Genome Research Centre- a Panama-China collaboration agreed by China in 2020.
  • By the time I left I had managed to increase the budget of the institute by more than triple.
  • In recognition of my contributions to the Science development in Panama, the President of Panama honored me with an honorary permanent Green Card residency in Panama.

EDUCATION FOR INNOVATION EXPERIENCE

I have background in Western and Eastern teaching and research practices, background testing/assessment; Standards for Accreditation; E-learning, and curriculum development. All of my work with undergraduates, Masters, Doctorates is highly interactive and helps to foster problem solving and critical thinking in multidisciplinary competitiveness.

 

INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION EXPERIENCE 

In 2011, for the first time in Panama, we invited two Nobel Laureates at the same time: Robert Huber and Ada Yonath for an International Conference on New Discoveries in Brain Science and advocated for the President of Panama to award them Panama’s highest honor, the Manuel Amador Guerrero Condecoration. We also brought Prof. Eric Green (National Human Genome Director, NIH, USA) to the National Conference of the Panamanian Association for the Advancement of Science in 2012.

In 2016, we organized a conference on Biomedicine and Interdisciplinary Sciences through funding from United Kingdom and invited UK-based leading Biomedical and Biodiversity Scientists (Nobel Laureates/FRS/FRSC) to Panama to interact and develop high quality collaboration between Panama and UK. During each of these events, my mission was to emphasize the road to transforming Panama’s service-based economy into a knowledge-based economy. To further this agenda, we facilitated meetings of each of our scientist guests with Members of Parliament and Ministry officials to influence them into increasing investment in science for the sustainable development of Panama.

In 2020 we worked tirelessly to get ICGEB-Italy to recognize INDICASAT (Panama) as a Regional Research Center for Latin America. In addition, our strong research collaborations with countries worldwide (USA, Europe, China) have helped guide Panama’s foreign Ministry´s drafting a national strategy for scientific diplomacy.

The Institute developed collaborations from more than 25 countries all over the world.
