Kevin Pyke has carried out research into various aspects of plastid biology over the past 25 years. He is Associate Professor in Plant Cell Biology in the Plant and Crop Sciences Division of the School of Biosciences, University of Nottingham. He has also worked at the John Innes Institute, Norwich, the University of York, and Royal Holloway, University of London. He identified an important collection of mutants in Arabidopsis in which chloroplast division was perturbed, which led to the identification of several novel genes functional in this process. More recently, he has worked on stromules and how they might enhance plastid function within the cell. See less
