I am a geneticist in the School of Molecular Sciences, University of Western Australia and the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space. I am interested in how genes and turned on and off within an organism, initially to understand how the natural processes first evolved, but I now engineer new ways to turn genes on and off in plants in a field known as Synthetic Biology.
