Dr David Bringloe

Senior Lecturer

Department of Bioscience , School of Health, Sport and Bioscience

Since gaining a PhD in the field of plant molecular biology, I spent a number of years working as a researcher and lecturer at several institutions in London and the USA. Most of my research experience has been in the area of plant and yeast gene expression. In my present post at UEL I am teaching at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels mainly on the Biochemistry and Biotechnology programme. My research is focused on the production of human therapeutic proteins in plants.

Areas Of Interest

  • Expression of foreign genes in yeast and plants.
  • Plant Molecular Biology
  • Plant Biotechnology
  • Biotechnology

CURRENT RESEARCH

My current research interests include designing strategies for foreign gene expression in plant cells. Our plant-based approach aims to express various therapeutic enzymes at high levels in whole plants and plant cell suspensions.
