Collaborations

Professor Dale Sanders (University of York) and Professor Julie Gray (University of Sheffield) collaborate with the signal transduction lab to investigate the role of cADPR in circadian behaviour.
 
We collaborate with Professor Jim Haseloff (University of Cambridge) and Professor Scott Poethig (University of Pennsylvania) to identify guard cell genes and enhancer elements.
 
Professor Carl Johnson (Vanderbilt University) also investigates circadian calcium signalling. We are collaborating with his group to investigate cell-specific circadian behaviour.
