Research Interests
My current research is centred around developing the molecular toolbox for the marine alga Phaeodactylum tricornutum, with a particular focus on "industry friendly" technologies such as non-antibiotic selection markers and novel inducible systems. I am also interested in pushing algal molecular biology in a more synthetic biology direction, for example building libraries of interchangeable expression element 'parts' for use with the Golden Braid system.
