The Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ hosted an international planning meeting to develop a proposal for a new world-class research center in Brazil that would help develop the country’s research capabilities in the life sciences. Amazonian biodiversity is not only a unique source of chemical, ecological, and genetic material for biotechnological development; it is also a valuable resource that must be protected for the future. Several Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Fellows served on the international scientific steering committee that worked with Brazilian scientists and government officials to establish the center.
