À propos des auteurs

Dr Matthew R. Willmann was Director of the CALS Plant Transformation Facility (PTF) at Cornell University, USA from 2016-2021. The Facility produces transgenic and CRISPR/Cas9 genome-edited plants, and develops improved transformation and genome editing techniques. With over 25 years of experience in plant science research, Dr Willmann has published widely in such areas as gene editing and is on the editorial boards of The CRISPR Journal and Frontiers in Genome Editing: Genome Editing in Plants, which promote research in this important and growing area. Dr Willmann joined the plant biotech company Pairwise as Delivery Technology Lead in early 2021.



Piero Barone received his PhD from the University of Perugia, Italy in 2002 where he worked on the cytological and molecular characterization of a female sterility trait in alfalfa (M. sativa L.). In 2014 he joined the Monocot Transformation Team at Dow AgroSciences where he worked on multiple trait discovery projects for the evaluation in maize of new mode of action for the below ground product concept. In his role he also managed transformation programs to support various technology development projects using the Zinc Finger gene targeting tool. In 2018 he relocated to Johnston where he joined the Molecular Engineering group at Corteva Agriscience leading the transformation activities for the genome editing technology development in maize.

Dr Andika Gunadi is a Researcher in Plant Genetics and Genetic Regulation at the Boyce Thompson Institute, USA. He's currently working on applying novel transformation and CRISPR approaches in plants.
