Sir David Baulcombe

Sir David Baulcombe is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on epigenetics, disease resistance, RNA, virus, and gene regulation. He investigates how gene expression is controlled in plants, particularly through interspecific hybrids and disease resistance mechanisms in tomato. His work integrates techniques such as RNAseq, DNA methylation analysis, computing, and machine learning. Baulcombe is also involved in collaborative research areas such as virology.
