Andrew Paterson

Email: paterson@uga.edu

Professor and Director,University of Georgia, USA

Andrew Paterson is jointly appointed in three departments: Crop and Soil Science, Plant
Biology, and Genetics at the University of Georgia, USA. Trained as a classical plant
breeder, his career has been spent working in partnership with both applied and basic
scientists to develop genomic tools and approaches as well as their application to goals
ranging from applied crop improvement to understanding angiosperm evolutionary history.

Professor Paterson and his collaborators have contributed to genetic analysis and improvement
of agriculturally important traits in sorghum, cotton, peanut, sugarcane, Brassica, maize, rice, and
other crops. In his future work, he seeks to (1) partner with African scientists in the analysis and
improvement of ‘orphan’ crops, leveraging hard-won information from well-studied botanical
models; (2) engage the organismal experience and knowledge of African scientists with genomic
tools and approaches to invigorate improvement of sorghum, cotton, and other important crops,
and; (3) further explore the origin and evolution 0of botanical diversity, with an emphasis on roles of
polyploidy.
