Eugene is a research leader in virology in the Molecular plant pathology group within the Cell and Molecular Sciences department of JHI. His research focuses on virus-host interactions in plants and invertebrates and includes the discovery of novel viruses, analysis of virus population structure and diversity, host antiviral defenses and viral counter-defenses, the impact of viruses on the host physiology, and the wider effect of microbes on agricultural and natural ecosystems. Areas of Strategic Research Programme Theme A: plant and animal health Topic line: plant disease. RESAS project JHI

Fluctuating environmental conditions severely impact Scottish crop production affecting crop yields, nutritional quality and food security. Growth in indoor environments such as vertical farms (VF) offers opportunities to extend food security by providing year-round production in precise, pest-free, optimised environments for year-round production of high-quality crops irrespective of external conditions. However, VFs require significant energy for lighting and the maintenance of optimised temperature and humidity limiting their application. To address this problem, we have conducted research
Akis is an experienced plant scientist with expertise in genomics, plant nematology and the application of next-generation sequencing techniques and analyses. In his current role as Research Scientist within the Molecular Physiology & Genetics group at The James Hutton Institute, he works towards understanding the interactions between plants and abiotic or biotic factors using molecular biology tools and genomic approaches. Area of Strategic Research Programme Theme B: Sustainable food system and supply; Project B1-5: Crop improvement for sustainable production in a changing environment
Simon in a senior Research Technician for the Plant Biochemistry & Food Quality sub-group (within EBS department and Advanced Plant Growth Centre). His current role is wide ranging from experimental set up all the way through to sample analysis using high-throughput methods, including HPLC, LC-MS and GC-MS.

Raul is a senior crop molecular physiologist at the James Hutton Institute in Dundee, working within the Advanced Plant Growth Centre (APGC). His discovery-led research explores how plants respond at the physiological and molecular levels to environmental stress, as well as their adaptive strategies and limitations. He also conducts translational research in collaboration with geneticists and breeders, aiming to apply this knowledge to develop improved crop varieties—with benefits ranging from higher yields to better food and feed quality. In addition, Raul focuses on indoor agriculture
