About
Jan Kreuze is a leading virologist whose work sits at the intersection of plant pathology, biosecurity, and sustainable agriculture. His research focuses on the ecology and evolution of plant viruses, particularly in tropical root and tuber crops like sweetpotato and cassava. Kreuze is a pioneer in applying high-throughput sequencing (HTS) to viral diagnostics, fundamentally shifting the field from analyzing individual infected plants to mapping the ecological distribution of viruses across entire agroecological landscapes. His influential 2023 paper, "Translating virome analyses to support biosecurity, on-farm management, and crop breeding," has already garnered 14 citations, highlighting its immediate impact. By integrating automation and decreasing sequencing costs, Kreuze has made advanced viral surveillance accessible for on-farm management and crop breeding programs. His work is critical for preemptive biosecurity, enabling the rapid identification of emerging viral threats before they become epidemics. Through these contributions, Kreuze is equipping farmers and breeders with the tools needed to build more resilient agricultural systems in the face of global change.
