Research

I am currently undertaking research looking at the biosynthetic pathway of tartaric acid in grapevines. Grapes belong to one of only 3 higher plant families (Vitaceae) which produce tartaric acid in high quantities; the reason for the production and storage of this acid is unknown. I will be focusing on identifying and characterising the enzymes involved in the synthesis of this organic acid.

Supervisors
