Dr. Rowe received BSc. Degree in Biology from the University of the West Indies (Cave Hill). In 2002, Dr. Rowe was awarded a full Chevening Scholarship to pursue an MSc. Degree in Molecular Medical Microbiology at the University of Nottingham in England.
In 2003, she was then afforded the opportunity to complete her Ph.D. in the same discipline at the University of the West Indies. Dr. Rowe’s research focused on Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression during meningococcal disease. Since her return to Barbados, she has worked as a lecturer in Biology and Genetics at the UWI (Cave Hill) Barbados.
Although the focus of her most recent research has been on the pathogenesis of disease in plants, Dr. Rowe’s ultimate mandate is still the progression of disease in man.
