Richard Meilan's work focuses on forest biotechnology, particularly the genetic engineering and breeding of poplar trees for bioenergy and biomass applications, including modifying wood chemistry (lignin) to make it easier to process into fuel. His research also extends to plant tissue culture for conservation of species like yew, invasive plant management, and the ethical dimensions of agricultural biotechnology.
Publication output was concentrated in a burst around 2017-2019 (including many book chapters in 2019) and has since slowed to about one to two publications per year.
