Research Overview: I am a researcher who has developed novel technologies for re-engineering genes in plant chloroplasts, from basic research through to early-stage commercial development, now within a start-up company, TerraVerde Solutions (TVS). TVS’s flexible platform couples improved power for plant growth and resilience with ability to concurrently install multiple traits-of-choice that leverage the plant’s increased robustness.

Interests: I am keen to talk with commercial, government and not-for-profit partners and investors in industries including agriculture, food, environmental sustainability and defence interested in our approach in working collaboratively to develop and implement solutions. For example customized crop and other plants with improved resource efficiency, pest and disease resistance, nutritional value, food storage, food consumer acceptance, land remediation or protection uses, and sensors for toxic and hostile chemicals.

Why meet me? Attendees interested in the next wave of “non GM” plants using state-of-the art safe, precision, methods, much shorter concept to marketing timeframe and development cost, and reduced regulatory uncertainty and cost might like to meet with me.
