Sabrina Gonzalez-Jorge
Sabrina joined the Crop Science Centre as the interim ENSA Impact Manager to drive impact and facilitate the translation of scientific research discoveries into practical applications for the ENSA project.
Sabrina has extensive lab-based research experience, having completed postdoctoral research at Michigan State University and the University of Cambridge, in both roles, dealing with amelioration of vitamin deficiencies in crops through nutritional genomics and epigenetics.
