(GlobeNewswire) - Metabolix, Inc. (NASDAQ:MBLX), today announced that Heike Sederoff, Ph.D. Professor, Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at North Carolina State University (NC State) has been named to the Yield10 Bioscience Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). Yield10 Bioscience, the crop science venture launched by Metabolix in 2015, is focused on developing proprietary, breakthrough technologies to create step-changes in yield for major food and feed crops to enhance global food security.
We are pleased to welcome Dr. Sederoff to our Scientific Advisory Board, said Oliver Peoples, Ph.D., chief scientific officer. We have collaborated with Dr. Sederoff and her team at NC State on advanced metabolic engineering technologies for improving crop yield using camelina as a model system. We look forward to Heikes contributions in her role as an advisor to our team as we work in 2016 to translate our approach to boosting crop yield and drought resistance to agriculturally significant crops and move from greenhouse to field trials.
We have collaborated with the Yield10 team on grants supporting advanced research to improve seed and biomass yield in oilseed crops, said Heike Sederoff, Ph.D. Professor, Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at North Carolina State University. Our work focused on yield improvement using camelina has produced encouraging results and we look forward to continue working with the Yield10 team to engineer new plant yield traits applicable to important feed and food crops.
Heike Sederoff, Ph.D. is currently Professor in the Department of Plant and Molecular Biology and Systems and Synthetic Biology Chair at North Carolina State University. Dr. Sederoffs recent research has focused on the study of plant systems and synthetic biology. She has used metabolic engineering methods to increase carbon assimilation and allocation in an oilseed crop and in model plant species including marine algae. Dr. Sederoff received an M.S. in Biochemistry and a Ph.D. in Plant Biochemistry at University of Gttingen, Germany.
Earlier in 2016, Yield10 Bioscience named Michael Lassner, Ph.D., former vice president of trait discovery at Dupont Pioneer and Danny Schnell, Ph.D., Professor and Chair of the Department of Plant Biology at Michigan State University, to its SAB.
