Dr. Gordon Sato, Director, Manzanar Project
"Planting Mangroves in Desert Countries, An Economically Feasible Sea 
Water Agriculture that can Relieve Regional  Poverty and Hunger"

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.
