Research Description
I worked for over a decade in the pharmaceutical industry as a medicinal and subsequently process chemist before moving into horticulture. My particular interest is medicinal plants and I have written a book to accompany the new medicinal collection at the Botanic Garden. I am also working to build a portfolio of research collaborations using the plants at the Botanic Garden.
