Thanks for stopping by! We are currently reorganising our website to update it with new team members, and a new look, for a refresh in the coming weeks. To learn about us you can check out newly updated Lancaster Environment Centre discipline group pages, including the Plant Biology website HERE. If you are here […]
A big Lancaster welcome to Maria who starts her PhD today! She’ll be working on CA1P with Doug as part of the NorthWestBio DLA programme. Her project is also in collaboration with proteomics and metabolomics colleagues at Queens University Belfast (Ciaren Graham, Bobby Graham, Nick Birse). Great to have Maria joining the team.
Many thanks to Supreeta who finished her postdoc with us on the PhotoBoost project last week. Supreeta has great strong contributions to the modelling aspects of the project, and has been a great Lancaster Photosynthesis team member. She’ll still be in Lancaster, having taken up a post with the Journal of Experimental Botany across campus. […]
Today we say ciao to Ana Lobo as she heads to an exciting new chapter of her career. After a successful postdoc here with Elizabete as part of Photoboost, Ana will now take up a permanent position at Aarhus University in Denmark to start her own group! We’re very thankful to have had Ana in […]
A warm welcome to Felix who has just joined Doug’s groups for a BBSRC project engineering Rubisco. Felix joins having recently finished his PhD in Aberystwyth.
[Edit/update 16th May] This has closed and we will be in contact with candidates. Recruiting has just opened for a Plant Molecular Physiologist postdoc position with Doug to work on Rubisco engineering, biochemistry, and impacts on photosynthesis. This is part of a BBSRC funded project looking at novel approaches to improving Rubisco activity, in collaboration […]
Welcome to Louis Monnier who joins Elizabete’s lab on a 6 month research visit from France. He’s working on wheat and his visit will involve studying the epigenetic effects of nitrogen supplementation on genes related to Rubisco synthesis.
Welcome (back) to new MRes student Nicole, who has now started her MRes with Sam on understanding solar parks impact photosynthesis in grasses growing under solar panels. Nicole is a returning alumni having previously done her dissertation with the group, contributing to this paper on cowpea. Welcome back Nicole!
A big Lancaster welcome to Dr Emma Raven, who has just joined to work on the RIPE project as a postdoc with Elizabete and Doug. Emma recently finished her PhD at the John Innes Centre, and will be working with us on Improving Rubisco regulation in cowpea and soybean.
[Update] Thanks to everyone who got in touch and applied, this round closed on Jan 6th. We hope to have projects advertised again for the next intake. Exciting news as we have 2 new PhD project opportunities advertised via the North West Bio program. There are projects with Sam and Doug. These projects are intended […]
