Dr Louise Thatcher
- Dr Thatcher leads a biologicals crop protection science area in CSIRO Agriculture & Food. Her research aims to maintain or improve crop productivity under a resource-limited future, mitigate the impacts of resistance development in traditional crop protection controls, and safeguard agriculture in the face of emerging biosecurity threats. She has demonstrated success in formulating and conducting H1 research delivering industry specific outcomes, through to strategic H3 research building capability, capacity and connections to advance Australia’s biologicals industry and its adoption on farm.
