About this listen
In the realm of scientific innovation, few fields hold as much promise as plant synthetic biology. Today, we delve into the remarkable journey of Dr. Adil Khan, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Western Australia.
Dr. Khan began his academic journey with a Master’s degree in Biotechnology (Research) from The Australian National University. His passion for understanding the complexities of plant biology led him to pursue a PhD at the University of Western Australia, where he specialized in Plant Synthetic Biology.
With Professor Ryan Lister, a leading figure in the field, together, they developed groundbreaking reversible CRISPR interference circuits, enabling precise programming of gene expression in plants.(https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-024-02236-w).
This innovative approach not only enhances our understanding of plant genetics but also opens new avenues for agricultural advancements. The potential applications are vast, from improving crop resilience to optimizing growth in challenging environments.
In this episode, Dr. Adil shares his scientific journey from Pakistan to the Australia and also highlights his failure and success, as a part of discovery in science.
