I did my PhD at the ETH-Zürich in Switzerland. With funding from the Swiss government, I worked for five years on rice and cotton protection in Madagascar. This success led to Canada where I founded a biopesticide company with Dr. Imme Gerke. After discovering and developing five biopesticides, we registered a Baculovirus in Canada and in the United States within a year. In 2002, I was asked by the Canadian regulator to assist wit the registration of biopesticides.
