The virtual meeting of the National Association of Plant Breeders took place last week. In our final podcast from the proceedings we talk with Borlaug Scholar Tia Dunbar about her rice research.
Dunbar is obtaining her MS degree in Plant Breeding at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX. Originally hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, she received her BS degree in Biological Sciences from the University of California, Davis. Her research focuses on gene editing for crop improvement, specifically with rice. She is currently optimizing in planta gene editing techniques involving novel nanotechnologies.
