Biography
Currently working at NIAB EMR, United Kingdom.
Research Interest
I am interested in the molecular evolution and population genetics of plant pathogenic bacteria. How have bacteria evolved to manipulate the plant immune system and what genetic diversity exists in plant-associated bacterial populations, that can be acted upon by selection. My PhD project (completed at NIAB-EMR/University of Reading, March 2017) focused on determining the genetic basis of host specificity of P. syringae on Prunus species. This involved comparative genomics to identify key factors in disease, followed by molecular plant pathology to determine their role in this interaction.
