While making the roadmap ”wish-list” for the future, the last item, “food”, set the plant biologist in Dr. Naweed Naqvi thinking about what could be the major challenges faced by food crops or plants in general, in the future. In this talk, he speaks about how we can engineer precision plant-immunity by studying the defence pathways of rice, a simple, but powerful crop. Naweed Naqvi obtained his PhD from the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (India) and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI, Philippines) in 1995. He worked as a Rockefeller Foundation Fellow at IRRI until 1997, when he moved to the Institute of Molecular Agrobiology, Singapore for a postdoctoral stint in eukaryotic cell division. He subsequently started his independent research group at IMA focusing primarily on Fungal Pathogenesis. He joined the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory as a Senior Scientist in 2002, and serves as an Adjunct Professor at the National University of Singapore This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
