Rutherford, Stephen - Cardiff University

个人简介

I graduated with a BSc (hons) Biology at the University of York (1989-1992), with specialisms in genetics and plant science. My BSc was followed by a Ph.D. on the genetic control of chloroplast division (1992-1996) in the lab of Professor Rachel Leech in the Department of Biology at the University of York. I then worked as a post-doctoral research associate on the role of FtsZ proteins in the control of plastid division at the University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada, USA. Following this project I worked as a temporary member of the teaching faculty at the University of Nevada, Reno and California State University, Sacramento, California. Following my period in the USA, I worked as a post-doctoral research associate in the Department of Plant Sciences, University of Oxford (1999-2005) in the lab of Dr Ian Moore, on a series of projects related to plant cell biology, the regulation of transgenes in plants, and the regulation of membrane trafficking in plant cells. I joined the School of Biosciences at Cardiff University in 2005. My main teaching areas are in genetics, molecular cell biology, plant biology, photosynthesis and the origins of life. From 2005-2007 I was Deputy Biomolecular Schemes Admissions Tutor. I was the Year 1 co-ordinator from 2007-2009. Since 2009 I have been the Deputy Head of Teaching/Deputy Director of Undergraduate Education.
