The PBI team aims to improve global food production and biosphere health through advances in plant science research. Our work integrates cutting-edge technologies spanning AI and synthetic biology with advanced genome editing to develop climate resilient plants. The goal is to produce more food from less land using fewer resources, such as nitrogen fertilisers. By combining fundamental research with applied innovation, we can accelerate the translation of discoveries into scalable agricultural solutions. In doing so, we lay the foundation for a more resilient and regenerative agricultural future that benefits both people and the planet.

"I am incredibly fortunate to be part of an organisation that takes a bold, end-to-end approach to tackling global challenges. We're breaking down silos and genuinely embracing transdisciplinary collaboration - which is something I find deeply inspiring. Coming to work daily is a real joy as I’m part of a fantastic team where we work hard and laugh often. What really motivates me is that I get to engage daily with some of the brightest young minds from around the world, journeying with them through their studies in Oxford and their engagement with EIT’s programs."
