Matthew Hannah PhD

Matthew Hannah researched plant physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology before moving into the emerging field of systems-level biology, particularly transcriptomics and metabolomics. His academic research focussed on plant environment responses, particularly to temperature and light, and made important contributions to understanding the interplay between cold acclimation and the circadian clock. In 2008, he moved to applied research at Bayer CropScience but retains close links with academia. He currently leads a research program on abiotic stress tolerance and is a Program Manager of emerging research topics in the fields of trait discovery and enabling technology development.
