Prof. Chris-Carolin Schön focuses on the optimization of agricultural processes through the integration of molecular biology technologies. Her research primarily involves the use of molecular markers in the breeding of crop plants and concerns the characterization of native biodiversity, identification of functional characteristics, and the development of optimized breeding strategies that account for complex properties. She completed her studies in agricultural sciences at Hohenheim University and Oregon State University, where she gained extensive knowledge before receiving her doctorate. Following her education, Prof. Schön worked at KWS SAAT AG and served as the Director of the State Plant Breeding Institute at Hohenheim University. She completed her postdoctoral studies in plant breeding and has held a full professorship at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) since 2007. Prof. Schön is a member of the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and the German Academy of Science and Engineering, acatech, and has played a leadership role in establishing Synbreed, an interdisciplinary network for genome-based breeding research in plants and animals.
