I studied Genetics at University College London, then joined Michael Bate’s group as an MRC and Sir Halley Stewart Trust funded PhD student at the Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, from 1992 to 1996. After an interlude of national service in Berlin, I returned to the Department initially as a research associate, starting my independent research group as a Royal Society Research fellow in 2002. Since 2010 I have held an unestablished and since 2013 an established lectureship position.
