The Center for Tropical Biodiversity seeks Scientific Director


The Center for Tropical Biodiversity (CTB) is an initiative of the Puerto Rico Science Technology and Research Trust (PRSTRT) for the establishment of sensible conservation guidelines for Puerto Rico’s rich biodiversity and for the development of scientific programs that ensure the discovery of products and technologies from biodiversity sources. To further its goals, the CTB has established a product development unit for the isolation, characterization, and testing of chemical compounds extracted from biological samples obtained from biodiversity research. We believe that some of the isolated new compounds could be further developed as pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, or agrochemicals.
