About Hugh Young
My role as Associate Director and Site Lead has allowed me to work with a dynamic and innovative group of managers, project leaders, and scientists. Key responsibilities have involved build-out of functional infrastructure, local and global networking, talent acquisition, and future strategy planning. As a successful scientific project lead, I have managed global and diverse teams in initiatives to improve plant health. This work has included the investigation of novel biological delivery systems, microbial inoculants for improved plant growth, and enzymatic solutions for biocontrol. As as plant molecular biologist with a strong background in plant genetics, genomics, and plant-microbe interactions, I carry a deep passion for finding sustainable solutions for BioAg. I actively enjoy working in diverse and collaborative teams and have discovered a new-found joy in \"agile\" ways of working. Specialties: plant pathology, plant biocontrol, plant transcriptomics, plant-microbe interactions, gene transformation, bioinformatics analyses; global team development, Agile ways of working, rapid learning cycle management
