Groundbreaking plant science research and pioneering technologies for crop improvement and protection. Addressing the strategic needs of industry.

Our research includes ubiquitin pathways leading to crop host immunity, toxic fusion proteins for control of mollusc and insect pests of crops.

Our research includes herbicide resistance in grass weeds, new chemistries for weed control and metal detection using transcriptional regulators.

Our research looks at responses to environmental stresses, developmental biology, genetic and epigenetic control of gene expression and cell biology.

Our group bridges biological and social anthropology, community medicine, evolutionary medicine, social epidemiology and public health.

The benefits of undertaking physical activities are well known, and sport, physical activity and nutrition play a vital role in healthy communities.
