Liam Dolan
FRS
[2] is a Senior Group Leader at the
Gregor Mendel Institute of Molecular Plant Biology (GMI) of the
Austrian Academy of Sciences ,
[3] the
Sherardian Professor of Botany in the
Department of Biology at the
University of Oxford and a
Fellow of
Magdalen College, Oxford .
[4]
[5]
[6]
Education
Dolan was educated at
University College Dublin and the
University of Pennsylvania where he was awarded a PhD in 1991 for
genetic analysis of
leaf development in the cotton plant
Gossypium barbadense supervised by Scott Poethig.
[1]
Career and research
Following his PhD, Dolan spent three years doing
postdoctoral research at the
John Innes Centre in
Norwich . After 13 years as an independent project leader in Norwich, Dolan moved to
Oxford as the
Sherardian Professor of Botany in 2009.
Dolan's research
[7] aims to define genetic mechanisms that control the development of plants and determine how these mechanisms have changed since plants colonised the land 500 million years ago.
[8]
[9]
[10]
[11]
[12] Dolan's research has been funded by the
Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the
Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).
[13]
Dolan has made outstanding contributions to our understanding of the development and
evolution of land
plant rooting systems .
[2]
[14]
[15] He was the first to define the precise cellular
body plan of the
Arabidopsis root and discovered the
molecular genetic mechanism governing
root hair
cell differentiation .
[2] He demonstrated that this mechanism is ancient and was the first to discover the mechanism that controlled the development of the earliest land plant rooting systems that caused dramatic climate change over
400 million years ago .
[2] These pivotal discoveries illuminate our understanding of the interrelationships between the development of plants, their evolution and the
Earth System.

With
Alison Mary Smith ,
George Coupland ,
Nicholas Harberd ,
Jonathan D. G. Jones ,
Cathie Martin , Robert Sablowski and Abigail Amey he is a co-author of the textbook Plant Biology .
[16]
Awards and honours
Dolan was elected a
Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2014 .
[2] Dolan was elected a member of the
European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) in 2009,
[17] and was awarded the President's Medal of the
Society for Experimental Biology (SEB) in 2001.
