I am a plant pathologist currently working on:
- Infection biology of Zymoseptoria tritici (Septoria Tritici Blotch of wheat), Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (ash dieback) and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (‘Panama’ disease of banana).
- Anti-fungals vs phytopathogens
My main research interests are:
- Fungal and bacterial plant pathogens
- Plant defence signaling, stress signaling and crosstalk
- Climate change and food security
- Crop protection
- Metal hyperaccumulating plants
