Dr. William Irvine is is a senior research fellow at the Caribbean Centre for Research in Biosciences (CCRIB), in the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of the West Indies Jamaica. After completing his CXCs at Ardenne High School he migrated to the UK where he completed his BSc in Medical Biochemistry at Leeds University. He later moved to New Zealand where he completed both an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Computational Biochemistry. Both degrees involved the use of molecular modelling to better understand how cells receive signals through protein–membrane interactions and how malfunctions in these interactions can lead to disease including cancer. He returned to Jamaica in 2020 to join the CCRIB.
