Scientist, Cell-Based Screening - Plant Biology Institute
Develop and lead a plant cell-based screening platform to evaluate carbon fixation and photosynthetic efficiency, using suspension cultures and genetic engineering techniques like CRISPR. Identify improved enzyme variants and metabolic pathways, then validate top candidates in whole plants to enhance crop performance. Work within a multidisciplinary team to drive discovery from lab to scalable agricultural solutions, with strong emphasis on IP generation and ethical innovation.
