I am a supervisor of the University of Edinburgh iGEM2007 team. I am in the School of Biological Sciences. My research is concerned with the use of genetically modified microorganisms for industrial applications such as biotransformations, bioremediation and biosensors. My students are working on:

• magnetite biosynthesis in magnetotactic bacteria
• cellulose degradation in aerobic bacteria
• biosensors for arsenic and other heavy metals
• biofilm formation in symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria

I am also interested in:

• degradation of thiocyanate and related compounds (application in biomining for precious metals)
• hemerythrins and other metal binding proteins in prokaryotes
