Research Interests:

Fiona has a background in molecular plant breeding and the quantification and exploration of genetic diversity crop species in the Plant Genetics Group in Cambridge. This has focused on the development of a library of novel wheat introgression populations as part of the DFW and WISP programs in recent years.

Current research focuses on exploring the utility of novel wheat diversity, especially around the crop microbiome.
