Simon Bull is a Senior Assistant in the Plant Biochemistry group (Prof. S. Zeeman) at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. He is also affiliated with the Molecular Plant Breeding group (Prof. B. Studer) at ETH Zurich.  His research interests include developing and implementing new plant breeding techniques (e.g. genome editing, fast flowering) in apple and cassava for fundamental research and trait improvement. Within the CASS project, he is investigating starch granule formation to boost our understanding of starch biosynthesis in cassava, and to apply this knowledge to improve starch-quality traits.
