Julian Michael Hibberd (born December 1969)[1] is a Professor of Photosynthesis at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge.[3][2]

Education[]

Hibberd was educated at University of Wales, Bangor where he was awarded his first degree in 1991 followed by a PhD in 1994.[5][7][8] His PhD thesis investigated the effects of elevated carbon dioxide (CO₂) on powdery mildew in barley and was supervised by John Farrar and Bob Whitbread.[9]

Research and career[]

Following his PhD, Hibberd completed three years of postdoctoral research at the University of Sheffield with Paul Quick,[10] Malcolm Press[4] and Julie Scholes,[11] investigating interactions between parasitic plants and their hosts.[12][13] He moved to Cambridge to work with John C. Gray in 1997,[5][14][15] and started his own group in 2000.

The Hibberd laboratory investigates the efficiency of the C₄ photosynthetic pathway, with the aim of understanding its repeated evolution and also contributing to improving crop productivity.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Hibberd's research has been funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation[23][24] the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC),[25] the FP7 program of the European Union,[5] and the European Research Council.

Hibberd is an Associate Editor of the scientific journal Plant Physiology.[26]

Awards and honours[]

In 2008 Hibberd was named by the journal Nature as one of "Five crop researchers who could change the world" for his research that is attempting to replace C₃ carbon fixation in rice with C₄ carbon fixation. This would greatly increase the efficiency of photosynthesis and create a rice cultivar which could "have 50% more yield" which "would impact billions of people".

In 2000 Julian was awarded a BBSRC David Phillips Fellowship to investigate the role of photosynthesis in veins of C3 plants.[2][12][27] In 2005 he was awarded a President's medal by the Society for Experimental Biology, and in 2007 The Melvin Calvin Award by the International Society of Photosynthesis Research.
