Megan Lewis
Post-graduate research student Megan focuses on the intracellular immune receptor RPM1. She aims to apply core biochemical techniques to identify how RPM1 interacts with potential components of the signalling pathways as well as to how altering these interactions affects the plant defence response phenotype through generating CRISPRArabidopsislines.
