Prof. Ian Small

  • Chief Investigator, The University Of Western Australia
  • group: Small

Biography:

Professor Ian Small is interested in understanding how energy metabolism in plants is controlled, with the ultimate aim of optimising the use of plants in agricultural and environmental applications. Professor Small was awarded a PhD in 1988 by Edinburgh University, and followed this with a career at France's National Agronomy Research Institute (INRA) where he held the Vice-Director position at the Plant Genetics and Breeding Station in Versailles and the Plant Genomics Unit in Evry. In 2005, he was awarded a WA State Premier's Research Fellowship, moving to Perth to become Director of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Plant Energy Biology. After eight years leading the first incarnation of the Centre he is now a Chief Investigator in the new Centre, which began in 2014, and performs his research at the Centre’s University of Western Australia node. Professor Small’s early work contributed significantly to the development, patenting and commercialisation of technology now used globally to grow canola crops. He is perhaps best known for the discovery and characterisation of the pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) family of proteins that are important for controlling plant fertility in hybrid crop breeding. In 2014 Professor Small was announced as Scientist of the Year at the WA Premier’s Science Awards, and later awarded a prestigious Australian Laureate Fellowship. Thomson Reuters include him as one of the world’s most influential scientific minds on their Highly Cited Researchers list (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017). In 2015, Professor Small was elected to the Australian Academy of Science, and he has represented the Academy in recent panels discussing synthetic biology, new gene drive technologies and new plant breeding technologies.
