About the Speaker.
Zack Bateson | National Agricultural Genotyping Center
Zack Bateson is the Research Manager at the National Agricultural Genotyping Center (NAGC), a private, non-profit laboratory based in Fargo, ND. He leads multiple projects leveraging DNA biotechnology for pest detection and crop improvement in pulses. NAGC’s current projects include: 1) detecting Aphanomyces root rot and other pathogens in fields, 2) identifying herbicide-resistant variants in weed populations, and 3) maintaining varietal integrity of certified seed. The diversity of these projects has fostered collaborations with public and private agencies across the U.S. pulse industry. Zack envisions NAGC as a diagnostic hub that supports research while also making advanced technology accessible to farmers.
