Pär K. Ingvarsson (Pelle) is a Professor of Plant Genomics and Breeding at SLU, Uppsala. His research focuses on the genetic basis of complex traits and local adaptation in forest trees, employing whole-genome resequencing and environmental association analyses to pinpoint climate-adaptive variants. Beyond plant breeding, his expertise in plant structural genomics and bioinspired materials supports interdisciplinary efforts, including ongoing international collaborations aimed at developing bioinspired matrices for human tissue regeneration.
