Jorge Dubcovsky is a plant geneticist and biologist at the University of California, Davis. He is an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.[2] Dubcovsky's research focuses on wheat genomics.[3] In 2013, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.[3] In 2014, Dubcovsky won the Wolf Prize in Agriculture alongside Leif Andersson.[2]
Early life
Dubcovsky graduated from the University of Buenos Aires in 1984 with a degree in biological sciences.[3] He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Buenos Aires and began studying wheat genetics at the University of California, Davis in 1992.[3] In 2004, research led by Dubcovsky culminated in the identification and cloning of the VRN2 gene in winter wheat.[4]
