Prof. Robert Henry

Professor Robert Henry, a distinguished academic with degrees from the University of Queensland (B.Sc. Hons), Macquarie University (M.Sc. Hons), and a Ph.D. from La Trobe University, stands at the zenith of plant-based product research. With a keen interest in the Australian flora and economically pivotal plants, he harnesses genome sequencing to unearth novel genetic resources. His work delves deep into understanding the molecular intricacies that dictate the quality of plant-derived products. Currently, as the Professor of Innovation in Agriculture at The University of Queensland, Professor Henry's endeavors are shaping the future, driving diversification in both food and energy crops through rigorous genome analysis.
