My work experience at The James Hutton Institute with tissue cultures of Arabidopsis and subsequent glasshouse trials on different plants, with extensive use of analytical biochemistry, gave me great laboratory experience. As part of my work I performed fecundity trials on aphids to assess secondary metabolite production and their effect on crop plant immunity. It also made me realize the importance of detailed planning and meeting tight schedules as well as offering me an involvement in both commercial and academic environments.
