Post-doctoral research associate
Research group: Sustainable crop nutrition
Biography
Edwin is an early career post-doctoral researcher working with Giles Oldroyd to study the mechanisms by which plants develop mutualistic interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. He is particularly interested in how plants respond and adapt to nutrient deficient conditions. Edwin recently completed his PhD at the Crop Science Centre, where he gained experience in crop genetics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics.
Edwin received his BA in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge. He completed his final year in the Department of Plant Sciences where he worked in John Carr’s lab, studying plant defences to viruses. During this time he also worked with Julia Davies to study the function of plant cyclic nucleotide-gated channels.
