Dr Julian Greenwood
Centre Fellow, ARC Training Centre for Future Crops Development
Postdoctoral Researcher, Research School of Biology
Julian is an innovation fellow at the ARC Training Centre for Future Crops Development (ANU node). Julian’s research is focused on developing improved tools for crop transformation and gene editing, with projects in Chickpea, Canola, and Brassica Carinata. Julian is applying developmental regulators to improve the recovery of transformed plants, and helping to develop high throughput gene-editing tools for use across centre projects. Julian is interested in applying cutting edge technologies to improve disease resistance in crops, and engineer key domestication traits in emerging crop species.
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE GENETIC & FIELD TECHNOLOGIES FOR FUTURE CROPS
The ARC Training Centre for Accelerated Future Crops Development is funded by the Australian Research Council under its Industrial Transformation Training Hubs Program to run from 2022 to 2027.
It is a collaboration of universities, government research agencies and the Australian grains sector’s key stakeholders in training, R&D, social engagement, responsible innovation, breeding, marketing and delivery.
It also has international partners in gene-editing, SynBio, crop breeding, and, other partnerships for co-developing deep technologies to transform the agriculture industry and global food security.
