    Area of Research Expertise: Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions focusing on pathogenic Pseudomonas specifically investigating the role of horizontal gene transfer in the evolution of pathogenicity. More recently I have also been carrying out research into tree pathogens, in particular the bacteria that are associated with Acute Oak Decline in the UK. 

    Sub-areas: Molecular microbiology, genomics, genetics and gene expression.
