Background

Dr Mark Jackson is a senior researcher at the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI), where his research focuses on developing innovative approaches to sustainable crop protection. His early postdoctoral studies at the Institute for Molecular Biosciences (IMB-UQ) were split between the development of plant produced peptides as ecofriendly insecticides, and utilising plants as biofactories for recombinant products of value. At QAFFI Dr Jackson works closely with the sugar, citrus and vegetable industries on projects that aim to develop biological solutions to pest and diseases. A rewarding aspect of his career has been in training of research higher degree students.
