No answer  **Paragraph 1:****Nigel Jenkins is currently** **the International Rescue Committee’s country director and** **a Pr****incipal Investigator for the** **National Institution for Biop****rocessing Research and Training** **in Ireland, as well as Adjunct Professor of Biotechnology at Dublin City University. He has previously been a Scientific Advisor for Bioprocessing in Switzerland, Senior Research Scientist for Eli Lilly in the United States, Professor of Biotechnology at De Montfort University in the UK. He has had “81 … scientific publications, [he is] author of the textbook ‘Animal Cell Biotechnology’, and [is] an inventor [with] 3 U.S. and European patents” (Jenkins). His research areas “include analysis and prevention of protein damage via aggregation, oxidation, and deamidation, serum-free and chemically-defined media formulation, and cell line genetic engineering and selection” (Jenkins). To be on a rescue committee the way Jenkins is, one must be completely aware of bioprocessing in the human body, understand cells, genetics, chemicals, and protein damage. Soldiers wounded in battle have damage to their bodies, requiring the type of scientific knowledge that Professor Jenkins offers in order to be repaired.**    WORKS CITED:
