Dr. Dean Ethridge, Managing Director of the Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute.

The Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute (FBRI) is the cotton fiber research division of Texas Tech University. Samuel Jackson calls upon the FBRI and its staff for fiber quality testing and information exchange regarding issues facing today's ginning and textile industries. There is a mutual respect between both organizations. Each year the FBRI organizes a Texas International Cotton School in which the Samuel Jackson team is involved. In the past, the staff of the FBRI has leant its expertise to teaching at Samuel Jackson's Cotton Conditioning Workshops.
