Project Overview

Food security is a growing global concern. Singapore, as an island city-state with little to no arable land, is almost completely dependent on other nations to feed its population of >5M. Additionally, 15% of the world’s 7.4-billion-person population currently lacks access to sufficient calories or micronutrients and is malnourished. The ability of traditional agricultural practices to meet the world’s growing nutritional demand (with the global population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050) is further threatened by climate and political instability as well as increased demand for energy and water. Novel methods and technologies for the efficient and sustainable production of foodstuffs are needed to ensure both Singapore, and global food security.

The Disruptive and Sustainable Technologies for Agricultural Precision (DiSTAP) program is developing a suite of novel analytical, genetic and biomaterial technologies that are fundamentally changing how plant biosynthetic pathways are discovered, monitored, engineered and ultimately translated to meet the global demand for food and nutrients. The DiSTAP Integrated Research Group (distap.mit.edu) is a part of the SMART program, MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore.  Our focus is to develop new tools, based on nanotechnology and advanced optics for the continuous measurement of important plant metabolites and hormones for novel discovery, deeper understanding and control of plant biosynthetic pathways in ways here-to-fore not yet possible. DiSTAP works with our partner institutions including the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory, the National University of Singapore, and the Nanyang Technical University in Singapore to leverage these new techniques to engineer plants with highly desirable properties for global food security, including high yield density production, drought and pathogen resistance and biosynthesis of high-value commercial products.

Responsibilities

The Scientific Director will provide the day to day scientific oversight to the interdisciplinary research group (IRG) and assist with the development and integration of the IRG’s scientific vision, goals and objectives.
