Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Houghton is a research laboratory technician with 12 years’ experience applying a chemistry-trained, structural mindset to plant pathology and resistance gene discovery. At 2Blades he combines horticulture, high-throughput protoplast transfection assays, large-scale DNA prep and literature synthesis to identify and deliver candidate resistance genes for maize and soybean. His MChem (First Class) background gave him a rapid aptitude for biology during his master’s dissertation, and he’s since translated that curiosity into practical, translational research supporting global food security. Practical, routine-driven and self-improving, he balances bench-level technical rigor with an appreciation for broader ethical and ecological impacts of disease control strategies.
