Billy Tasker-Brown

Postdoctoral Scientist

Billy is currently working as part of the Webster group. He is interested in how chloroplasts transcribe and translate genes.

The photosynthetic gene expression machinery involves large protein complexes with both bacterial and eukaryotic origins. How these molecular machines function and their evolutionary history fascinate me. Billy is utilising plant genetics, molecular biology, structural biology and bioinformatics to understand the fundamental mechanisms of photosynthetic gene expression within a supportive and collaborative lab environment.
