My current research interests are in developing and applying an understanding of the physiological determinants of resource use efficiency (especially nitrogen use efficiency) and the response of crops to foliar disease to guide management practice and improve the sustainability of production. Physiological questions are addressed at the tissue, whole plant and crop scales. Modelling is used to integrate understanding across these scales and to investigate the complex interactions between soil, root and crop canopy processes.

Dr Henry Creissen

Henry has a background in ecology and evolutionary biology with application to agriculture. He is particularly interested the wide range of approaches that can be employed to protect crops against biotic stresses. His research is currently targeted towards developing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies in order to reduce reliance on fungicides in arable farming systems. Henry also works with stakeholders to understand the barriers to adoption of best pest management practices and identify solutions to overcome them.

Barbervax®: giving blood-sucking parasitic worms a taste of their own medicine

This case study is part of a series focusing on the importance of sustained funding for fundamental and strategic research. The first in this series summarises the research behind Barbervax®: a vaccine for the Barber’s Pole Worm, Haemonchus contortus. Barbervax® is the first vaccine in the world for a worm parasite of sheep and for a gut-dwelling worm of any host, including man.

Professor Ian Toth

Ian in a senior scientist in cell and molecular sciences at the James Hutton Institute. His current research includes molecular bases of pathogenesis in the enterobacterial potato pathogens Pectobacterium and Dickeya species, and the eucalyptus pathogen Pantoea ananatis using functional and comparative genomics approaches. Ian's research also includes The interaction between human enteric pathogens and plants and the role of these plants in the spread of disease.
