I obtained my B.Sc and Ph.D from NUI Maynooth. My Ph.D was undertaken under the supervision of Prof. Philip Dix and I studied chloroplasts genetics. I was sucessful in obtaining a one year UNESCO research fellowship at the Biological Research Centre in Szeged, Hungary and worked with Dr. Peter Medgyesy. I spent 2 years in the laboratory of Prof. Ken Sink at Michigan State University, USA, as a Postdoctoral Fellow and studied asymmetic protoplast fusion. I spent 3 years in the laboratory of Dr. Roger Pennell at University College London, as a Postdoctoral Fellow and investigated the role of arabinogalactan proteins during somatic embryogenesis I spent 3 years in the laboratory of Prof. Christopher Leaver, FRS, at Oxford University as a Senior Postdoctoral Fellow and investigated the regulation of programmed cell death in plants. I was appointed to my present position in UCD in Sept 2000 |
