Biography
Tess completed her undergraduate degree and PhD at the University of Birmingham, specialising in plant molecular biology and plant-aphid interactions. She spent two years investigating how a plant fungal pathogen senses its environment and is now investigating the effects of abiotic stresses, namely heat and phosphorus-deficiency, on wheat, rice and beans. Tess is working in collaboration with CIAT in Colombia to develop heat-tolerant beans for post-conflict Colombia and also on the TIGR2ESS project, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge and NIAB, looking at the effect of heat stress on wheat.
She is currently working as a grant development manager at Rothamsted.
