Werdegang
Berufserfahrung von Aimone Porri
In this new function I am the head of two research teams: 1) I lead the herbicide target team that study the target profile of novel herbicides using molecular, biochemical, metabolomic and chemical approaches. 2) I lead the weed resistance laboratories that focuses on weed resistance, weed genomics and evolution. By combining biochemical and protein modelling approaches, my teams also support our global herbicide tolerance trait pipeline
1 Jahr, Sep. 2017 - Aug. 2018
R&D Team Leader
British American Tobacco
I led a team of Scientists, including technicians and PhD students, to develop assays for gene function discovery and validation in tobacco. We also developed and used genome editing technologies to target genes involved in toxicants production in tobacco plants.
