Jaime Barros is currently an Assistant Professor in the Division of Plant Science & Technology at the University of Missouri. His research interests focus on the molecular biology and genetic engineering of plant natural products. He has recently been pioneering work on the analysis and visualization of biochemical pathways leading to wood formation in plants. Jaime was a Barrie Foundation Fellowship recipient in 2012, a GAIN-Postdoctoral Fellow in 2015, and a Visiting Fellow at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2019. He completed his PhD in 2012 at the Spanish National Research Council and earned a BS in forest engineering from the University of Santiago de Compostela. Ultimately, his research aims to explore how plants’ metabolism works and use this knowledge to help address global challenges such as food security, climate change, and sustainable production of energy and commodity chemicals.
