Dr. Ania Wieczorek

Director

Dr. Ania Wieczorek is the director of the Biotechnology Outreach Program. As she worked with adults and children in the community she recognized the need for the increased knowledge and awareness of genetics. This is important to her because with this knowledge, individuals are better able to understand and make decisions about biotechnology issues. In addition to being the director of the program, Dr. Wieczorek is also an associate professor and the graduate program chair for the Department of Tropical Plants and Soil Sciences- CTAHR at the University of Hawaii, Manoa.
