Timeline

1939

Dr. Henry Isaac Clore Lowe OJ OD (born April 9, 1939) is a Jamaican scientist, philanthropist and businessperson.

His career began in academia where he worked at College of Art, Science, and Technology (CAST) for 16 years, before entering public life by joining the Ministry of Energy.

He now owns and manages a variety of businesses in the health industry.

Henry Lowe was born on April 9, 1939, in St. Andrew, Jamaica.

His family was "far from being wealthy" and were devout Catholics.

His father David was a Cabinet Member and his mother Josephine was a part-time tailor and a homemaker.

Lowe was the fourth of ten children.

At 4 years old Lowe was enrolled at the Woods' infant school.

Though it was located on Metcalfe Road, a neighborhood which was considered affluent at the time, his school hosted its classes in sheds behind a house.

Lowe attended primary school in Port Maria and later attended Excelsior High School.

1959

Lowe was accepted into the University of the West Indies in 1959 with scholarship, where he graduated with a bachelor of Science and Honours degrees in natural science.

Lowe obtained a Master's in Pharmaceutical and Medicinal chemistry from the University of Sydney and his Ph.D. at Manchester University.

To both universities Lowe was awarded a British commonwealth scholarship becoming "the first Jamaican, and maybe the only one ever, to be awarded two commonwealth Scholarships".

He pursued post-doctoral studies at the Bolton Institute of Technology, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University.

The year after graduating from Excelsior high school Lowe was himself hired as a science teacher at Holmwood high school.

1964

After graduating from the University of the West Indies, he taught chemistry at Excelsior high school and was appointed the head of the Science Department for one year, after which he began lecturing at CAST on September 10, 1964.

His time at this institution was interrupted intermittently by educational pursuits.

1970

Lowe returned to the College of Art Science and technology in 1970 and was made the head of the science department in 1973 – the first native Jamaican to have held this position.

Lowe returned again where he was made vice principal of academic affairs.

Being persuaded by Jamaica's then Ambassador to the U.S., Douglas Fletcher, Lowe left his position at CAST to join the Ministry of Energy to help manage the severe energy crisis Jamaica was experiencing.

Lowe's research is focused on ascertaining medicinal and pharmacological qualities of Jamaican plants; in particular Cannabis and Tillandsia recurvata.

Lowe had been a consultant for Blue Cross of Jamaica since the 1970s, and was appointed to the board of trustees in 1988.

1972

Lowe has been involved in Cannabis research "since 1972".

His Ph.D. focused on examining "the structure activity relationships of some of the cannabinoids in ganja".

Lowe, in collaboration with various colleagues has produced experimental findings which demonstrate the efficacy of cannabis flavonoids in combating illnesses such as hepatitis c.

Lowe's interest in Tillandsia recurvata began during his doctoral studies.

Lowe and his research team have since shown that it can be potent medicine for prostate cancer through its cytotoxic properties towards cancer cell lines (P-3C and P-45).

Lowe produces a variety of health products based on his discoveries in these areas.

Lowe developed the first National Energy Policy and Management plan for Jamaica as the director of its Ministry of Energy.

It included an agreement with Venezuela that 25% of the revenue generated from Jamaica's purchase of Venezuelan oil would be re-directed towards various Jamaican development projects.

Lowe also achieved the reduction of Jamaica's use of oil by 20 percent.

After this, Lowe helped establish the Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment, before joining the Ministry of Agriculture, and then the Ministry of Public Utilities and Transport.

Lowe would later acquire the majority of the Blue Cross of Jamaica from its previous holder, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association.
