Group Leader, The Sainsbury Laboratory

Sophien Kamoun's lab studies the interactions between plants and filamentous pathogens, notably the Irish potato famine organism Phytophthora infestans and the rice and wheat blast fungus Magnaporthe (syn. Pyricularia) oryzae.

His group draws on state-of-the-art findings on pathogen genomics and effector biology to develop novel disease-resistant crops.
