Following undergraduate studies at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, I pursued my PhD with Spencer Whitney at the Australian National University in Canberra. At the ANU I explored the use of directed evolution to modify the properties of the CO2 fixing enzyme Rubisco. Subsequently I joined the group of Manajit Hayer-Hartl at the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried where we described a molecular chaperone that maintains Rubisco function. 10 years ago my group at the NTU was established. The overarching goal of our research aims to uncover and describe the protein machinery that has evolved to enhance CO2 fixation across the tree of life. Current topics of interest include the chloroplast proteostasis network and the subcellular localization of CO2 fixation machinery.
