Dr Anne Rae researches the cellular mechanisms of sugar transport and storage.
Current activities
Dr Anne Rae currently leads a project developing tools for tissue-specific and subcellular targeting.
She is also co-ordinating a new initiative on high-value sugar derivatives as alternative products for the sugar industry.
Recently, as part of the Sugarcane Improvement Group and the Cooperative Research Centre for Sugar Industry Innovation through Biotechnology, Dr Rae has investigated pathways of sugar transport and accumulation in sugarcane.
Background
In 1994, Dr Rae joined CSIRO.
After completing her PhD, Dr Rae spent four years as a postdoctoral researcher at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, United Kingdom, working on Rhizobium-plant interactions.
Since joining CSIRO she has continued to apply cell biology approaches to questions in plant development and metabolite transport.
Academic qualifications
Dr Rae undertook a Bachelor of Science at Monash University, Melbourne, and then completed an Honours program at the University of Melbourne, in 1984.
Dr Rae went on to be awarded a doctorate from the University of Melbourne in 1989, while working in the Plant Cell Biology Research Centre at the University of Melbourne on pollen-tube development.
