Candle House Room 104/105
<br>
<br>
Dr. Gordon Sato, Director, Manzanar Project
<br>
"Planting Mangroves in Desert Countries, An Economically Feasible Sea
Water Agriculture that can Relieve Regional
Poverty and Hunger"
<br>
<br>
Dr. Gordon Sato obtained his Ph.D. at the California Institute of
Technology in Biophysics in 1955 under Nobel Prize winner Max
Delbruek. He was a professor of Biochemistry at Brandeis University
(1958-1969) and Biology at UC-San Diego (1970-1983). He was director
of the W. Alton Jones Cell Science Center, Lake Placid, NY from 1983
to 1992, and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Dr. Sato
is best known for his contribution to the understanding of the
multiple factors required for the culture and husbandry of mammalian
cells outside the body. More recently Dr. Sato devotes the bulk of his
time as Director of the Manzanar Project in Eritrea in eastern Africa.
The Manzanar Project is dedicated to alleviating poverty by creating
renewable resources in desert marine tidal zones via planted mangrove
trees and re-vitalized natural and cultured fish populations.
