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
