Tim Sharbel is a Professor at the University of Saskatchewan in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources. His research interests primarily focus on apomixis, a form of plant reproduction that involves asexual seed production. He explores evolutionary genomics, genetics, and the various aspects of evolution related to naturally occurring asexual plants, typically hybrid polyploids. Dr. Sharbel's research encompasses population genetics, high throughput phenotyping, and various 'omics' methods, including next-generation sequencing and microarray expression profiling. His work aims to understand the evolutionary implications of reproduction strategies and the potential applications of apomixis in agriculture, which could transform breeding practices and crop variety development. His educational background includes a Ph.D. from the Max Planck Institute and degrees from McGill University.
