Dr. Tolentino was associated with PGC Mindanao as a project staff under the Research and Development Division. He is an Associate Professor at the Department of Food Science and Chemistry (DFSC) at UP Mindanao. He obtained his Ph.D. in Biological Chemistry from the University of Connecticut, USA, and his B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering (cum laude) from UP Los Baños. His PhD dissertation was on mutagenesis studies of DNA lesions by site-specific approach. He was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute in Florida, USA where he had worked mainly on mechanisms of drug resistance in certain blood cancers.
