The
Doyle Foundation has been established in honour of Dr John J Doyle's life and
work. Its purpose is to advocate and provide support for the role of
science in international development, in keeping with Dr Doyle's wide interests
and beliefs that science should be directed at solving clearly defined problems.
The
Doyle Foundation was officially launched at the University of Glasgow Veterinary
School on 30 June 2000. Please follow this link for further information
on the launch and Report No 1: Launch of The Doyle Foundation
(2001) (PDF file)
Specifically the Doyle Foundation will provide a forum for
analysis and advocacy of the role of science in development with special
regard to livestock health and the safe applications of modern biotechnology. Initial emphasis will be given to identifying the research
needed to reduce the constraints on production of livestock, especially in
Africa, and targeted broadly to livestock health and production and related
fields.
The Foundation will achieve its aims through support for
Fellowships,
sharing information and knowledge and related activities.
In order to support the advocacy role, the
Doyle Foundation will produce a series of reports and publications, which will
be made available on this
site - please see News
Page.
Dr Gabrielle Persley, Chair of the Doyle Foundation, is also
actively involved with a host of international organisations and respected
colleagues, producing publications to support the advocacy role of science in
development. Follow this link to view her recent publications.
