Biocentis Welcomes Dr. Kevin Gorman as Head of Development
Biocentis is delighted to announce the addition of Dr. Kevin Gorman as our new Head of Development. With over 30 years of experience as an agricultural and public health specialist, Kevin brings a wealth of expertise in sustainable technologies, making him an invaluable asset to our mission of transforming insect control for a healthier and more sustainable future.
Kevin joins us after a distinguished career, including leadership roles at Oxitec, where he spearheaded market access, operational deployments, regulatory affairs, and pioneering field trials. At Biocentis, Kevin will lead efforts to validate our groundbreaking insect control technologies, oversee field trials, and foster strategic alliances with key stakeholders.
Expressing his excitement about joining Biocentis, Kevin shared, "I am delighted to be part of the Biocentis team and excited to contribute to the surge towards more environmentally sustainable control of insects. My career has been devoted to the design and implementation of new technologies and products that promote sustainability within the industry, and with Biocentis, I see a pathway to impact when the world needs it most."
He further emphasized the importance of genetic control strategies in addressing pressing global challenges: "Genetic control strategies are now a reality, and with the growing regulatory and economic constraints placed on conventional practices, they will play an increasing role in food security, health, and beyond. As we battle the impacts of climate change, the intensification of agriculture, and increasing urbanization, harnessing the power of genetics to provide exquisitely targeted, biological approaches that can improve livelihoods while protecting our environment is a compelling mission that I personally find irresistible."
