ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Essential to the successful running of GARNet is the GARNet Advisory Committee, which links GARNet to the community and keeps us up to date with the day to day experiences and issue of researchers. The committee currently consists of 10 elected members, who contribute their time on a voluntary basis. The committee provides GARNet with an oversight body that ensures direct community input to GARNet’s strategy and actions.
Each member serves a term of three years and annual elections are held in November/December to elect new members. The committee is elected from the community to represent and serve the needs of the community. If you would like to know more about becoming a GARNet committee member please get in touch.
In addition to the elected members the committee also includes the GARNet PI (Jim Murray), GARNet Coordinator (Geraint Parry) and three ex-offico members; Ruth Bastow, Sean May and Sabina Leonelli.
From time to time the GARNet Committee receives requests for letters of support for community resource grants. Information regarding letters of support can be found here.

My group aims to identify genes that underpinned the innovation of three dimensional shoot growth and branching in plant evolution. At the moment we are using the moss Physcomitrella and the liverwort Marchantia as model systems. We use a range of experimental approaches including developmental analyses, phylogeny, genetics and computational modelling.
