We are a plant biotech start-up, based in London. We're working on how to improve the immune system of crop species.

Crops were bred over generations by plant breeders to improve key traits such as yield, height or drought-tolerance, but sometimes inadvertently lost key immune resistance genes.
Additionally, modern monocultures are static in evolution, but the pests and pathogens that threaten them are not. Plant diseases are constantly evolving new ways of defeating the R-genes in crops.
Climate change is making matters worse – diseases are spreading to new locations, meaning the disease spectrum farmers are dealing with is expanding.

Note about LinkedIn: I only accept connections from those who I've met, sorry.

I'm leading an innovative plant disease resistance discovery company, figuring out how to use gene editing to engineer disease resistant crops and licencing this to plant breeders.

My PhD was: molecular biology research on how plants attempt to defend themselves against diseases, in an effort to ultimately improve crop resistance.
