Joel Milner

Dr. Joel Milner is a Reader in Molecular Biosciences at the University of Glasgow, focusing on plant-virus interactions, host defense responses, and counter-defence strategies by viruses. He is affiliated with the Plant Science research group and has an ORCID: 0000-0003-3702-4295.

• Current research investigates plant-pathogen dynamics, defense signaling pathways, and bacteriocin applications for crop protection.
• He has published extensively on topics including viral protein functions, autophagy mechanisms, and chiral plasmonic nanostructures for biomolecular analysis.

Recent Publications highlight trends in plant virology, microbiology, and biotechnology. Key studies include engineering bacteriocins for Pseudomonas syringae resistance and exploring chiral nanostructures to probe protein interactions.

Grants from BBSRC, Wellcome Trust, and EPSRC support projects such as potato blackleg disease management and novel bacteriocin-based plant protection strategies.

Professional Affiliations include the American Society for Plant Pathology, Association of Applied Biologists, and editorial roles in Molecular Plant Pathology and BBSRC committees.
