Biography:
Sofia Kourmpetli is a lecturer at Cranfield University, UK, and the director of an MSc course in Future Food Sustainability. Her current research focused on grain development and the genetic control of grain quality traits in cereal crops. She is particularly interested in investigating the genetic regulatory networks that link fundamental developmental biology with metabolic processes in the grain, with the aim of gaining a better understanding of the complex mechanisms that control grain quality and identify targets for potential crop improvement.
