Research Overview

I am interested and have a background in molecular plant biology with an MSci in Molecular and cellular biology (with biotechnology) from the University of Glasgow. I am excited by research with potential downstream biotechnological applications with the ultimate goal of improving crops for increased global food security. My PhD project consists of investigating the role and synthesis pathway for Rubisco inhibitor CA1P. I hope to elucidate key enzymes that play a part in CA1P formation and to also understand why this inhibitor is synthesised. In doing so, I hope to expand on the pool of current Rubisco regulation knowledge.
