Biography
I am currently a lecturer in the Faculty of Biology Medicine and Health in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Function. I belong to the Plant Science research group (http://www.ls.manchester.ac.uk/research/themes/plantscience). Following obtaining a First Class Honours degree in Botany at Manchester, I undertook a PhD (SERC/CASE) looking at 'Nitrite reduction and Carbohydrate Oxidation in pea root plastids'. This research was carried out under the joint supervision of Mike Emes (at Manchester University) and Derek Hucklesby (Long Ashton Research Station). My subsequent position as a Postdoctoral Fellow was in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of Guelph in Canada. I was then funded as a Research Associate in the Department of Cell and Structural Biology, University of Manchester, before being awarded the Royal Society Pickering Research Fellowship. This allowed me to develop my own research interests both independently and in collaboration with others before being appointed a lecturer.
