About Prof Ian Dubery

Prof. Dubery is a plant biochemist and does research on plant ‘omics’, with a focus on plant metabolomics and biochemical plant pathology. Prof Dubery’s research involves plant-microbe interactions, innate immune responses in plants and adaptive stress metabolism. Of particular interest is the manipulation of inducible defense responses in crop plants in order to improve disease resistance and to enhance food production and food security.
