Your new role
The Centre for Crop and Disease Management
The Centre for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM) at Curtin University works closely with the grains industry to reduce the $1 billion per year burden of crop disease for Australian farmers. For the last 10 years our research discoveries have improved the genetic resistance of wheat, barley, canola, and pulses providing enduring solutions for growers dealing with disease epidemics. With a large team of more than 100 research staff and students focused on molecular plant pathology, fungicide resistance, agronomy, and precision agriculture, CCDM's multidisciplinary approach uniquely allows us to deliver solutions more effectively than would be possible with research focused in one area.
