Plant Cell BiologyResearch interests include circadian rhythms, the regulation of plant gene expression, Protein transport through the secretory pathway, Protein quality control in the ER, Protein targeting to chloroplast membrane and plant toxins. In order to address these questions we apply a wide range of approaches, including bioinformatics, forward and reverse genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry and live imaging techniques.

RIG activities include journal clubs and research minisymposia run jointly with Warwick-HRI. Follow the link below for a schedule of planned activities.
