Grant Program:
Early Career Industry Fellowships
Grant Activity:
Building Better Herbicides With 3D Boron and Silicon Building Blocks
Purpose:
This fellowship aims to develop a modern toolkit for building herbicidal molecules, comprised of 3D chemical building blocks containing boron and silicon. The significance of the project is that it uses strategies that have delivered successful pharmaceuticals, such as molecular shape and complexity, and applies these to crop protection to address serious challenges such as genetic resistance, which threatens the effectiveness of almost 70% of herbicide types. The expected outcomes are safer, more effective herbicides, resulting in benefits of increased crop production and alleviated pressure on our agricultural sector, farmers and the environment.
