Geoff Fincher

Professor Geoff Fincher is the Deputy CEO of the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics and chairs the ACPFG's Executive Management Group. His research interests include the biochemistry, physiology and molecular biology of enzymes involved in cell wall synthesis, re-modeling and degradation in cereals. Functional genomics technologies are applied to studies of the growth and end-use quality of cereals, and to abiotic stress tolerance in wheat and barley. Other activities include the functional analysis of plant genes, protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions, structural biology of plant proteins, protein and carbohydrate chemistry, enzymology, plant cell wall biochemistry and cereal transformation. He is also Director of the Waite Campus and Professor of Plant Science at the University of Adelaide.
