Kelvin (Kelly) Duncan is the Dean of Science at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. He has researched bioactive defence compounds in animals, plants and micro-organisms for many years. He also develops new technologies to extract the compounds he discovers. Many of his discoveries have become commercial – enzogenol is a recent example. He is currently working on photobioreactors to grow photosynthetic micro-organisms in a more controlled manner, a new cell disruption technology called "potentiation" that enables a greater range of better products to be extracted from plant and microbial cells, "potentiated" pollen and "potentiated"grasses, and a new class of non-toxic (to humans) natural antibiotics of great curative powers.
