| Dr
Wang graduated in Biology at Queen Elizabeth College, London and
went on to do a PhD on cytokinins and apical dominance with Roger
Horgan and Philip Wareing at UCW Aberystwyth. He moved on to a
Personal SERC Fellowship at the Botany Department in Leicester
working with Herbert Street on cytokinins in tissue cultures and
then to Leeds to work with David
Cove on the moss, Physcomitrella patens before joining
the Centre as a group leader in 1979 where he has established research on legumes especially seed development in pea and carbon allocation to nodules in the model, Lotus japonicus. He is also a Reader in Biological
Sciences at the University of East Anglia.

My
group is involved in research on the model
legume, Lotus japonicus, in collaboration with Martin
Parniske at LMU, Munich and with members of INTEGRAL,
an EU Marie Curie RTN. We are concentrating on carbon
partitioning, especially mutants of sucrose and starch metabolism,
and on flavonoid metabolism using our TILLING
platform. We also operate metabolomics
as a platform technology for the Centre and use it as a discovery
tool for all our research.
