Resident Scientist - Grenville Vale Tropical Botanic Garden, Grenada Dr Valma Jessamy

Dr Valma Jessamy is a native of the island of Grenada where she lives and works as the Resident Scientist of the award-winning Grenville Vale Tropical Botanic Garden, a venture she co-owns with her husband and has been developing since 2008. She has developed a proprietary planting scheme of over 135 species of medicinal plants native to the Caribbean. Dr Jessamy developed a proprietary medical-grade honey that has the highest bio-activity against anti-biotic drug resistant bacteria (MRSA, E. coli, etc.) when compared to other honeys available on the global market. The medical honey has formed the base for formulations of nutraceuticals and wound healing creams that she has developed and are now available on the market for use. At present she is the CEO and Principal Research Scientist of 17th/21st Century Cures Ltd. Dr. Jessamy is also the Executive Director and founder of JECO Caribbean Inc., the first environmental management and development consulting firm in the Eastern Caribbean, established in 1995.
