anderson

Position

Adjunct Professor, Photobioenergetics Group, Research School of Biological Sciences, Canberra, Australia.

Honorary Research Fellow, CSIRO, Division of Plant Industry, Canberra.

Thèmes de recherche

- The molecular organization of thyakoid membranes: the significance of lateral heterogeneity in the distribution of the photosystems and why grana stacking.

- The molecular mechanisms of light regulation in higher plants: dynamic acclimation by light and the chloroplast as a redox sensor of environmental stresses.

- Structural /functional dynamics of photosystem II: possibility of an oxygen channel and prevention of singlet oxygen generation when photosystem II is functional?
