Extensive experience in applying protein biochemistry to controlling pests in crops at small, medium, and large companies. Discovered and helped develop a nematode-control trait that is now in a late stage of product development. Screened microbial strains from environmental sources for pesticidal activity, and used biochemical methods to identify active proteins. Collaborated with many academic labs to discover and characterize new pest control proteins, to develop improved computational methods for predicting novel pore-forming proteins, and to develop improved laboratory methods to screen for pore-forming activity. Numerous patents and patent applications.
