Senior🎓
Top SchoolShantel Martinez is a plant breeder and molecular geneticist with 11 years of experience developing resilient processing tomato and wheat germplasm for commercial and regional markets. Currently a Breeder I at HM.CLAUSE in Davis, she blends next-generation predictive analytics with classical breeding to deliver parental lines and hybrids across California, Europe, and South America while leading an inclusive, safety-focused program. Her prior roles at Bayer, Cornell, USDA-ARS and WSU included postdoctoral work in wheat genetics and rapid-response research that identified 12 loci for preharvest sprouting tolerance—results immediately used by breeders to protect growers from economic losses. She holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Plant Sciences and a strong track record of translating molecular discoveries into applied breeding outcomes and grower outreach. Known for building professional-development programs as well as breeding pipelines, she combines technical depth with people-centered leadership.
