He serves as advisor to many national governments (including China and Vietnam) on agriculture, food security and nutrition.
In 2014, Dr. Fan received the Hunger Hero Award from the World Food Programme in recognition of his commitment to and leadership in fighting hunger worldwide.
Dr. Fan received a PhD in applied economics from the University of Minnesota and bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Nanjing Agricultural University in China.
高彩霞
Gao Caixia is Principal Investigator of the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB), Chinese Academy of Sciences. Prior to joining IGDB in 2009, she served as Research Scientist (Plant Genetic Transformation) of DLF-Trifolium’s biotechnology group in Denmark. Dr. Gao completed her Ph.D. in Agronomy from China Agricultural University, Beijing, and her M.Sc. and B.S. degrees in Agronomy from Gansu Agricultural University, Lanzhou. Her extensive research and professional experience has been in plant genome engineering, crop molecular breeding and plant genetic transformation. Gao Caixia’s research area mainly focuses on developing a highly efficient and robust TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9 platform in plant cells to enable targeted genome editing as well as employing the developed platform for targeted gene mutagenesis, addition and editing to identify and modify plants traits for high-quality, disease resistance and stress tolerance in crop species.
Graeme Hammer
Graeme is a Professor in Crop Science and Director of the Centre for Plant Science (CPS) in the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI), which is a research institute of The University of Queensland, Australia.
Graeme conducts research on the physiology and genetics of complex adaptive traits in field crops with a focus on water productivity in cereals. His research underpins the development of mathematical models of crop growth, development and yield that enable simulation of consequences of genetic and management manipulation of crops in specific target environments. He has played a leading role in the design and on-going development of the APSIM crop modelling platform, which is now used world-wide.
His research approach provides unique opportunities to:
• Aid crop management and design for enhanced production in water-limited environments.
• Enhance the utility of molecular breeding for drought adaptation.
• Identify avenues to cope with climate risks in field crop production.
He is a Fellow of the Australian Agriculture Institute and was awarded the Australian Medal for Agricultural Science in 2013 and Farrer Memorial Medal in 2012.
PUBLICATION
Published extensively (130+ publications in refereed scientific journals, lead editor of 2 books, 20+ book chapters, 120+ major conference papers) with contributions widely cited by peers (h-index of 40). Invited presenter at numerous national and international symposia.
Some significant papers indicate a pioneering role in:
• crop physiology, crop modelling and integrated agricultural systems research.
• research that underpinned the establishment of the field of ‘climate applications’ by linking seasonal climate forecasting with agricultural systems modelling.
• a more recent role as a leading innovator in systems approaches to molecular breeding by linking molecular biology and physiology with breeding via genotype-to-phenotype modelling.
A full list of publications highlighting the development and on-going innovation in these fields is available via Thomson ISI researcher-id (see http://www.researcherid.com/rid/A-3785-2008).
Jane Muthoni Ininda
Dr. Jane Muthoni Ininda, currently Associate Director, Emerging Initiatives at the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) holds a Ph.D. (Plant Breeding-Major, Statistics-Minor) from Iowa State University, USA. She is a recipient of the C.R. Weber Award in recognition for outstanding achievement in graduate study in Crop Science. Her role in AGRA is to oversee, manage and direct AGRA investments in crop research and the seed value chain; and leader in all investments in crop improvement research for food security crops in Eastern and Southern Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, DR Congo, South Sudan, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique and South Africa). Through her career she lead a team of crop breeders who have developed and released 350 improved varieties of food security crops; of which 229 of these varieties are commercialized mainly through private seed companies. She has been involved in agricultural sciences for over 30 years, carrying out extensive research and expert technical advice on food crops in Africa. Jane has worked with the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) as wheat, amaranth, soybean and maize breeder. Her major contribution while in KARI was the development and release of 26 maize streak virus resistant maize hybrids for the medium altitude areas of Kenya, and in partnership with private sector enterprises initiated successful commercialization. She has published over 45 research papers in journals and proceedings. Realizing the importance of forming strong alliances and sharing updated information and knowledge among agricultural scientists she founded the ‘Modern and Visionary Breeders’ and other key networks in crop breeding in Africa. In 2002, she initiated the Maize Breeders Network for Eastern and Southern Africa. These networks have now been expanded to include all important African staples such as rice, beans, cassava, sorghum and millets. She has also featured the effects of food shortage in a film ‘Silent Killer-the unfinished Campaign against hunger’.
