Claire Grierson
Professor
Department of Biological Sciences
University of Bristol
United Kingdom
Biography
Her first degree at the University of Warwick included a year in a bioscience research group at ICI, Runcorn. During her PhD with Professor Mike Bevan at Cambridge University and the John Innes Centre She studied mechanisms controlling potato tuber development, and identified transcription factors controlling the expression of storage protein genes. Since then she have worked on root development in Arabidopsis, firstly as a post-doctoral researcher with Dr Liam Dolan and Professor Keith Roberts at the John Innes Centre and later as a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow at IACR-Long Ashton. She became a lecturer at Bristol in 2000 and a Reader in 2004. she enjoy collaborating with researchers in other disciplines, through the Predictive Life Sciences theme, and the Bristol Centre for Complexity Sciences, with the goal of understanding biological systems better.
Research Interest
Arabidopsis, root hair development, plant cell polarity, auxin, root hair tip growth, root soil cohesion, gene networks, synthetic biology, interdisciplinary research.
