The mission of Faculty Investigator Dr. Josh Clevenger’s Genome Innovation Lab is...

Consumers will now be able to purchase the first ever beer brewed from Alabama-grown barley malt thanks to a state-wide project. The collaboration included experts from HudsonAlpha, Auburn University, and Alabama A&M University, and met an exciting milestone today as Braided River Brewing Company in Mobile released a new beer containing barley malt sourced in Alabama.

In 2022, HudsonAlpha announced the expansion of its physical footprint outside of its longtime home in Cummings Research Park in Huntsville, Alabama. Through a partnership with the city of Dothan, HudsonAlpha launched the HudsonAlpha Wiregrass campus that will serve Dothan, Alabama, and the surrounding areas. 

The HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology has a new building gracing its skyline– a 14,000-square-foot glass greenhouse to be exact.

With the support of Mars, HudsonAlpha Faculty Investigator Josh Clevenger, PhD, will work to create more sustainable crops that use less water and fewer pesticides, promoting regenerative agriculture and safer, more durable harvesting solutions.

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey recently awarded HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology $968,365 through the Alabama Research and Development Advancement Fund.

Thanks to some modern-day detective work and genetic sleuthing, a team of scientists, including HudsonAlpha Faculty Investigator Josh Clevenger, PhD, have mapped out the international journey of several peanut lines with remarkable pest and disease resistance.
