Head of the Crop Nutritional Quality group
Biography
I completed my PhD at the University of Reading in Prof. Donal O’Sullivan’s lab, where I worked on characterising faba bean seed protein composition and mapping its underlying genetics. I then joined John Innes Centre in Norwich as a postdoctoral researcher to work on the genetics of pea nutritional quality in the labs of Prof. Janneke Balk and Prof. Claire Domoney. My current research at Crop Science Centre aims to enhance the nutritional and culinary quality of legumes and other underutilised food crops by discovering the underlying genetic mechanisms.
