Brian Staskawicz
Brian John Staskawicz Foreign Member of the Royal Society, ForMemRS is professor of botany, plant and microbial miology at the University of California, Berkeley and scientific director of genomics, agricultural genomics at the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI). Education Staskawicz was educated at Bates College (BA, 1974), Yale University (MS, 1976) and the University of California, Berkeley where he completed a PhD in plant pathology in 1980. Research and career Staskawicz has made many seminal contributions to the understanding of infection strategies of plant pathogens and immune response of plants. These include the cloning of the first pathogen effector gene and the cloning and characterisation of one of the first plant NOD-like receptors. Staskawicz and his colleagues also played a major role in establishing ''Arabidopsis thaliana'' as a model organism to study the molecular basis of microbial recognition by plants and genetically dissect defense signaling pathways.
