Consisting of technical presentations, poster sessions, exhibits and workshops, the conference is an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and applications on this internationally important project. There will be approximately 180 Workshops, 2,400 Abstracts, 1,250 Posters & 130 Exhibits ... as well as social and networking opportunities. All in a relaxed and informal setting. 184 S. LIVINGSTON AVENUE, SUITE 9, #184 • LIVINGSTON, NJ 07039 • USA • TEL: +1 201-653-5141 (GMT -5) www.intlpag.org • [email protected] JACK BOBO Futurity, USA In 2015 Jack was named by Scientific American one of the 100 most influential people in biotechnology today. He is a regular speaker on global trends in agriculture, consumer perceptions of risk, science communication, and the art of networking. He has degrees in law, environmental science, chemistry, and biology. KIMBERLY COOPER University of California, San Diego, USA Kimberly Cooper studies developmental biology and has discovered a CRISPR- based method to make precise changes in the female rodent germ-line which also shows increased rates of transmission into offspring- so-called “super-Mendelian” inheritance. SARAH DAVIDSON EVANEGA Cornell University, USA Sarah is Director of the Cornell Alliance for Science, which promotes evidence -based decisionmaking in agriculture. She teaches agricultural biotechnology and is part of an interdisciplinary team that developed a massive open online course (MOOC) on the science and politics of GMOs on Cornell’s EdX platform. ZACHARY LIPPMAN Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, USA Zachary Lippman’s research integrates genetics, development, genomics, and genome editing to explore the mechanisms determining how plant stem cells become flowers, and then applies this knowledge to develop innovative concepts and tools for crop improvement. RAPHAEL MERCIER Max Planck Institute, Germany By identifying mechanisms limiting meiotic recombination and turning meiosis into mitosis, Raphael Mercier’s research is opening up new possibilities for crop improvement by engineering the allelic composition of chromosomes and engineering seed-based clonal propagation of plants. ANNE STONE Arizona State University, USA Anne‘s focus is on population history and understanding how humans and great apes have adapted to their environments. It has 3 main strands: (a) Native American population history, (b) the evolutionary history of the Great Apes, and (c) understanding the co-evolutionary history of mycobacteria with human and non-human primates. ESKE WILLERSLEV Lundbeck Foundation, Denmark Eske Willerslev harnesses whole genomes derived from thousands of ancient human remains to understand the origins, dispersal, selection, and genomic history of everyone on earth.
