The three strands to my research are intracellular microbial symbioses in insects, especially aphids; beneficial gut microbes in insects; and the sugar and amino acid nutrition of insects. I joined Cornell University in 2008 as the Daljit S. and Elaine Sarkaria Professor of Insect Physiology and Toxicology. Before that, I was a member of faculty at the University of York, UK (1996 senior lecturer, 1999 reader, 2003 professor); a Royal Society University Research Fellow (1986-1996); and I did postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford and University of East Anglia. I obtained a PhD at the University of Aberdeen, UK (1981) and BA (zoology) at the University of Oxford, UK (1978). |
