Dr Albert Wong

Albert is a plant science researcher specialising in plant biotechnology and tissue culture. His research background spans a variety of agricultural and conservation applications, including experience in cereals gene-editing and physiology, as well as the development of plant tissue culture platforms for recalcitrant grass species and woody perennials. His research addresses critical challenges in plant science, focusing on developing and applying innovative techniques to enhance crop improvement and conservation, particularly in the context of climate change and food security. Currently, he is working with industry partners in developing low-emissions forage grass for cattle feed. He is also leveraging his expertise in plant tissue culture to focus on native plant preservation, applying advanced laboratory techniques to support critical conservation efforts.
