Dr DANA MACGREGOR

BIOGRAPHY

Dr Dana MacGregor is a plant molecular geneticist with expertise in understanding how plants survive the challenges of their environment and how they pass these beneficial traits on to secure the success of subsequent generations. She is currently focusing on agricultural weeds, Nature’s ultimate survivors. She and her colleagues are working on quantifying and undertaking mechanistic investigation of the traits that allow agricultural weeds to allude chemical or cultural controls. Current projects focus on developing lab-based molecular resources, tools and techniques to explore genotype-to-phenotype and phenotype-to-genotype hypotheses in problematic weeds such as Alopecurus, Lolium, and Amaranthus species. Dana has been at Rothamsted Research since 2018, she is LTHE qualified and an Accredited Supervisor.
