Graham Moore (scientist)

Professor Graham Moore FRS (born March 1958) is a British scientist, an internationally recognised researcher and Director of the John Innes Centre, Norwich.

[4] Professor Moore developed the pioneering concept of cereal ‘Synteny’, for which he was awarded the Royal Society Darwin Medal in 1998.

In 2021 Professor Moore's research group characterised the gene, ZIP4, which has profound effects on the production of seeds in wheat.

Professor Moore’s group took advantage of new wheat research technology to explain genetic elements.

[5] He is internationally recognised for his work, and in 2018 he was jointly awarded the Rank Prize for Nutrition[6] for his contribution to pioneering research which enabled plant breeders to exploit genomics to develop improved wheat cultivars.
