“We have an enormous opportunity to significantly improve the current state of humanity by better understanding a plant’s biology and its interactions with the environment.” — Jeremy Schmutz Research Focus: Jeremy Schmutz is a faculty investigator at HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology and co-director of the HudsonAlpha Genome Sequencing Center. The current focus of his research is in the field of bioen- ergy, supporting DOE initiatives related to clean energy generation. Sequence data produced at HudsonAlpha are applied to the problem of reducing the United States’ dependency on fossil fuels by improving biomass yield and the efficiencies of processes used to convert plant materials into liquid fuels.
