Georg Jander is an American plant biologist at the Boyce Thompson Institute in Ithaca, New York^[1] and an adjunct professor in the Plant Biology Section of the School of Integrative Plant Sciences at Cornell University.^[2] Jander is known for his research identifying plant genes involved in synthesis of biochemical compounds, particularly those related to insect resistance.^[3]^[4]

Education

Jander earned his undergraduate degree in computer science from the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis in 1983.^[5] He received his Ph.D. in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics from Harvard Medical School in 1996 under the supervision of Jon Beckwith.^[6]

Career and research

Jander has worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Fred Ausubel^[7] and as a scientist at Monsanto.^[8]

He currently works as a faculty member at the Boyce Thompson Institute, where his lab studies the genetic mechanisms that control plant secondary metabolism involved in defense against insects.^[9]^[10]^[11] A particular focus of the Jander lab has been research involving plant interactions with aphids.^[12]^[13] Jander's research publications have been cited more than 17,000 times.^[3]

Since 2005, Jander has been the principal investigator for a undergraduate plant science summer internship program at the Boyce Thompson Institute.^[14]

Honors and awards

Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award from the Humboldt Foundation (2011)^[15]
Fellow, American Association for the Advancement of Science (2012)^[16]
Fellow, American Society of Plant Biologists (2022)^[17]
