John Innes Centre, UK New Phytologist Editor

Organising Committee and Invited Speaker - 49th New Phytologist Symposium

Biography

Antony Dodd is based at the John Innes Centre in Norwich. His group investigates circadian clocks, using plants and bacteria as experimental models. His work on plants used both laboratory and field experiments, with the aim of understanding how the circadian clock contributes to environmental signal integration that underlies plant physiology and development. The group is also part of the ERC Synergy programme MicroClock, which is investigating the mechanisms and ecology of circadian programs in Bacillus subtilis, including interactions between circadian programs in plants and bacteria.

Antony’s PhD was at Newcastle University, followed by several years as a post-doc in Cambridge. He was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship that he took initially to the University of York, and then the University of Bristol where he held his first faculty position. He moved to the John Innes Centre in 2019, where he is Head of Cell and Developmental Biology. Antony currently chairs the BioClocks UK network, and is an Editor at New Phytologist.
