With a PhD from the University of Wales, since 1986 I have been working at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, where I am currently Senior Research Leader in Conservation Genetics and Molecular Ecology Much of my research (involving population genetics, phylogenetics, mycorrhizal associations, red listing) relates to orchids and their conservation. Major orchid projects relate to Cypripedium calceolus, Orchis spp. and the effect of climate change on mycorrhizal associations.
More about the Specialist Group
