As part of Matt’s role within that team he is developing SapFeederHub, a genomic database of insect vectors of the bacterial pathogen Xylella, as part of the BRIGIT project.

Matt is also the author of the Antirrhinum species database AntSpec which he developed while working as part of Professor Enrico Coen’s group and in a continuing collaboration.
