COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY
PROFESSOR

Dr. David Jackson is a Professor of Plant Genetics at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. His group works on maize, developing genomic tools and studying genes and signals that regulate the phenotypes of plants.

“There’s great concern that we won’t be able to feed everybody in the coming years, I think that by producing higher yields, we can not only guarantee to feed the growing population, but also to hopefully improve sustainability, and be required to use less land for agriculture.”
