| Current position
Emeritus Professor and Visiting Fellow in the Plant Cell Biology
Group
Current Reserach Interests
Plant cell biology, main activity at present is the development
and publication of a comprehensive multimedia presentation in
DVD format of structural aspects of plant cell biology, entitled "Plant Cell Biology on DVD", which greatly augments the hard-copy textbook by Gunning and
Steer (see publication list, now out of print).
The DVD provides browsing for students at all levels, and is a major resource
of teaching material for tutors/lecturers. It contain
>2000 images and >200 movie sequences/animations covering an
introduction to plant cells, nuclei, ER, Golgi, plasma membrane, plasmodesmata, vacuole, mitochondria, plastids, peroxisomes, cytoskeleton, vesicle trafficking and organelle interactions.

DVD"
