Biography
For my first degree I read Botany at St. Catherine's College Oxford, followed by a PhD from Edinburgh University. I carried out post-doc work in Edinburgh and then Rothamsted, before taking up a position as leader of the Plant Molecular Genetics Group at the Leicester Biocentre, and a lectureship at Leicester University (1989). I moved to a Chair in Durham in 1996.
Research Interest
Research interests are developmental biology of plants, and in particular on molecular control mechanisms in embryogenesis and root development.
