Emily is currently a Research Fellow in Prof. Lorenzo Frigerio’s lab and Facility Manager of the newly established Elizabeth Creak Horticultural Technology Centre, both within the School of Life Sciences, University of Warwick. Her research interests centre around the role of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in plant defence responses and the fundamental relationship between ER form and function. Emily received her PhD from Warwick in 2014, where she investigated transcriptional regulatory networks underpinning plant responses to a range of biotic and abiotic stresses in the labs of Profs Vicky Buchanan-Wollaston and Katherine Denby (York). In 2014 she moved into the field of plant endomembrane research with Profs Lorenzo Frigerio (Warwick) and Chris Hawes (Oxford Brookes) focussing on ER morphogenic proteins. Her current research explores changes in ER architecture in response to infection with the phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000, and the action of ER-targeted pathogen effectors from a range of oomycete species including Phytophthora infestans.
