Sam Wilson
I work on photosynthesis, plant physiology, membrane biochemistry and photobiology. I did my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at Queen Mary University of London and stayed there for my PhD in Alexander Ruban's lab, looking at the light tolerance of photosystem II in photosynthetic systems from different environments.
