Kiran Gadhave Receives New Innovator in Food and Agriculture Research Award
Kiran Gadhave, Ph.D., Texas A&M AgriLife Research entomologist, has been selected as one of 11 recipients of the New Innovator in Food and Agriculture Research Award from the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research, FFAR.
An assistant professor within Texas A&M’s Department of Entomology with a multidisciplinary background in conducting basic, applied and translational research in insect vector-plant virus and plant-microbe interactions, Gadhave is stationed at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Amarillo.
The award seeks to promote the career advancement of highly creative and promising new scientists who intend to make long-term career commitments to researching food and agriculture. Recipients should initiate innovative, ground-breaking research and provide thought leadership for challenges facing food and agriculture, according to FFAR.
Gadhave’s project selected for award by FFAR, funded at almost $500,000, is to develop an integrated pest management tool to offer a next-generation breakthrough solution to one of the largest hindrances to expanding specialty crop production in the Texas Panhandle — tomato spotted wilt virus and thrips.
