Andrew R. Leitch

Professor Andrew R. Leitch researches plant genetics, genomics, and cytogenetics, focusing on questions of an evolutionary and ecological nature. There is a focus on the processes and consequences of interspecific hybridisation and polyploidisation in plants. His ecological work focuses on nutrient - polyploidy- genome size interactions in grasslands. At Queen Mary University of London he is developing ‘The Sustainable Biodiversity Research Initiative - SUBRI’ which aims to bring together interests in financing biodiversity with academic solutions for a nature positive future.
