Joe Win

Dr. Joe Win is a Research Fellow at The Sainsbury Laboratory, University of East Anglia, specializing in plant pathology and genomics. His research focuses on fungal pathogens affecting staple crops like rice and wheat, with emphasis on genome evolution, host-pathogen interactions, and disease surveillance.

Research interests include molecular mechanisms of fungal virulence, horizontal gene transfer in plant pathogens, and genomic approaches to disease management. His work has been funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) through projects like 'Advancing Plant Health' and 'Genome evolution of a pandemic clonal lineage of the wheat blast fungus'.

Recent publications demonstrate cutting-edge work in pathogen genomics, including the discovery of novel effector proteins and pandemic lineages affecting global food security. His collaborative international research has been recognized by major news outlets and academic communities.
