个人简介
As Scientist, Business Area Manager and Senior Researcher Dr O'Kennedy was involved from 1993-2009 in establishing a proficient technology platform to genetically enhance African cereal crops. Genetic engineering of cereal plants (barley, millet, sorghum and maize) using particle bombardment and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation methodology introducing 1) fungal resistance, 2) insect resistance, 3) maize streak virus resistance, and 4) genes to improve nutritional quality of sorghum and maize. Subsequently, from 2009 until now she continued in cereals as principle investigator of a Drought initiative: to identify and understand regulatory mechanism operative during drought tolerance in sorghum landraces harnessing a Agilent custom design sorghum microarray. It will underpin the design of effective metabolic engineering strategies for African cereal crops. As from 2010 until 2020, she is involved in plant based expression of target antigens for serological assays and assembling viral structural proteins to form virus-like particle vaccines against target animal diseases (i.e. Influenza, Bluetongue and African Horse Sickness) as well as recombinant viral capsid proteins to display target epitopes for immunocontraceptives and rabies vaccines, all produced in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) as part of the CSIR Biosciences vaccine initiative.
