个人简介
After graduating in Biology from York I worked for some time as an immunology technician at Liverpool before completing and MSc and then PhD on human placental syncytiotrophoblast membranes as a model for cancer signalling. I then moved to Leicester where I worked in John Draper's group on signalling in the plant wound response with a particular interest in jasmonates with Luis Mur and Claus Wasternack (Halle). I also contributed to work on the roles of reactive oxygen species in plant defence with John and Luis. In 1997 the Leicester group moved to Aberystwyth and I joined them as a Research Lecturer. In addition to my interest in jasmonates, I also worked on the role of cytokinins in defence with Thea Davies and transmembrane movement of salicylic acid with Andrew Clarke. I had a brief sojourn in the Careers Advisory Service creating online resources. I returned to IBERS in 2006 as a Teaching Fellow and latterly a Lecturer in Biology concentrating on teaching cell biology at undergraduate level.
研究领域
My research interests have, most recently, centred on aspects of plant resistance to disease. This work has included involvement in the following areas 1.The role of jasmonates in the hypersensitive response 2. The influence of cytokinins on resistance. 3. Transmembrane movement of salicylate 4. Active oxygen species and defence responses 5. Basal (avr-independent) disease resistance.
