Overview
Background
Dr Lindsay Shaw joined the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation in 2019 and her research is focused on the application of emerging genetic and genomic technologies for horticultural crop improvement. Lindsay leads research programs in the Genetics for Next Generation Orchards Program and the National Tree Genomics Program collaborating with the Queensland Government and industry partners. Her research focuses on understanding the molecular regulation of flowering, fruit retention and canopy development in mango, avocado and macadamia.
Prior to joining QAAFI, Dr Shaw worked as a project scientist at the University of California Davis Department of Plant Sciences on understanding how genes in the photoperiod pathway interact to regulate flowering and spike development in temperate cereal crops.
Lindsay completed a Bachelor of Biotechnology with Honours and a Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Queensland before completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the John Innes Centre Crop Genetics Department in Norwich, UK, and an OCE Postdoctoral Fellowship at CSIRO, on understanding the regulation of floral and grain development in cereal crops.
