Dr Neil Brown is a plant biology and crop science researcher at Rothamsted Research, and holder of a BBRSC Future Leader Fellowship.
Fungal pathogens cause plant diseases that threaten our health, through the contamination of the crop with toxins. Neil’s project focuses on the cereal pathogen and toxin producer, Fusarium graminearum, to better understand how fungal receptors regulate disease and toxin production. Knowledge of how fungi respond to environmental signals will help us to improve safe food production and protect human health.
