Helping agricultural innovators bridge the gap between promising science and successful field application.
Discuss Your ProgramPromising agricultural innovations often begin with strong scientific potential, but moving from laboratory or greenhouse research into reliable field performance introduces a new set of challenges.
Limited internal field capacity, unsuitable trial locations, inconsistent research execution, unclear protocols, variable environments, regulatory requirements, and gaps in data interpretation can increase development costs, delay decisions, and make it difficult to determine a technology’s true potential.
Zelanix Ag was established to help bridge that gap.
We combine scientific rigor, practical field experience, flexible research networks, and commercial perspective to help agricultural innovators design better studies, strengthen trial execution, generate reliable data, and translate research findings into confident development decisions.
Our goal is to help clients reduce development risk, avoid unnecessary delays and costs, and move promising technologies from research toward successful field application and commercialization.
Our mission is to help agricultural innovators move promising technologies toward practical and commercial success through rigorous field research, reliable data, and confident scientific decisions.
Our vision is to be a trusted scientific partner helping agricultural innovations prove their value in the field, advance with confidence, and deliver meaningful benefits to growers and agriculture.
Zelanix Ag operates through a senior-led, project-based model designed to match the right expertise, research environment, and execution resources to each client program.
Rather than limiting projects to the capabilities of a single research location, we assemble the team and network needed to address the specific scientific, technical, geographic, and operational requirements of each study.
Depending on the program, this may include collaboration with:
Throughout the program, Zelanix Ag provides direct scientific oversight, coordinated project management, quality-focused execution, and a clear point of accountability.
Zelanix Ag brings together senior scientific experience across agricultural research, regulatory science, biological innovation, and product development.
Dr. Wiseborn B. Danquah is an agricultural scientist and field development leader with more than 20 years of experience spanning agronomy, crop protection, biologicals, plant pathology, nematology, regulatory research, and agricultural product development.
His career includes laboratory, greenhouse, field, and regulated research programs across the United States, Canada, Europe, Africa, and Brazil. He has designed and led multi-location studies, developed research programs, coordinated CROs and university collaborators, trained research partners, supported regulated field studies, and translated research findings into product development, positioning, and commercialization decisions.
At Zelanix Ag, Dr. Danquah works directly with clients throughout the research process—from strategy and protocol development to research partner selection, technical oversight, risk management, data interpretation, and development decisions. His hands-on approach helps ensure that each program is scientifically rigorous, operationally practical, and aligned with the client's development objectives.
Regulatory Strategy & Plant Pathology
Dr. Kayimbi M. Tubajika is a plant pathologist and regulatory scientist with extensive experience in plant health, pest risk analysis, plant disease epidemiology, quarantine science, and phytosanitary risk management.
His career has included work with USDA APHIS PPQ, where he has contributed scientific expertise to pest risk assessments and regulatory analyses used to evaluate plant health risks associated with agricultural commodities and pathways of pest introduction.
His scientific background spans the biology and epidemiology of plant pathogens, invasive and quarantine pests, commodity risk assessment, phytosanitary treatments, and development of science-based approaches for preventing the introduction and spread of economically important plant diseases.
At Zelanix Ag, Dr. Tubajika provides expertise in regulatory science, plant pathology, and regulatory strategy, helping clients connect rigorous plant-health science with practical product development and regulatory decisions.
Biologicals, RNAi & Emerging Technologies
Dr. Soumi Joseph is a plant scientist with expertise in biologicals, RNAi technologies, and emerging approaches to crop protection and plant health. Her experience spans the evaluation and advancement of novel biological and RNA-based technologies, with a focus on translating scientific innovation into practical agricultural applications.
She brings expertise in technology assessment, experimental strategy, product evaluation, and translational research, helping multidisciplinary teams assess performance, identify development opportunities, and strengthen the scientific basis for product advancement.
At Zelanix Ag, Dr. Joseph provides strategic and technical guidance on biological product development, RNAi-based technologies, and emerging agricultural innovations, helping clients evaluate promising technologies and advance them toward effective, field-relevant applications.
