Dirk Inzé (born 19 October 1957) is a Belgian molecular biologist and professor emeritus at Ghent University (Ghent, Belgium). He received his PhD from Ghent University in 1984 and was appointed professor at Ghent University in 1995.[1] From 2002 to 2023, he was the director of the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology.[2]
His research focuses on the molecular networks regulating plant organ growth and crop productivity, particularly in Arabidopsis and maize.[2] He is a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO).[3] He was a recipient of the 1994 Körber European Science Prize,[4] the 2005 Francqui Prize in biological and medical sciences,[5] and the 2017 GCHERA World Agriculture Prize.[6] He became a member of Academia Europaea in 2020.[7] He was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2019.[8]
