James Price

Dr. James Price is an Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Biology, University of St Andrews. His research focuses on plant-parasitic nematodes, particularly the potato cyst nematodes Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida. His work explores molecular mechanisms underlying host-parasite interactions, including eggshell biology, surface proteins, and life cycle regulation.

Key research interests include nematode molecular biology, host adaptation strategies, and agricultural pest management. His recent studies highlight the role of annexins in nematode life cycles and the structural analysis of surface coat proteins critical for host recognition.

Publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches combining molecular genetics and parasitology. Research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) by advancing understanding of crop-threatening pests.
