Research Interests

Description Of Research Interests

My research is mainly focussed in fields known as molecular systematics, genetic resource characterisation and endophyte biology. I have specialist knowledge of the grass family and of forest tree genetics. I collaborate with a number of national (Department of Agriculture, Teagasc) and international institutions (Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, UK; University of Lausanne).
