Birmingham Fellow
School of Biosciences
Dr Yun Fan’s research interest centers on understanding how cell death, cell proliferation, and cell differentiation are coordinated to maintain tissue homeostasis. This has important implications for cancer development and tissue regeneration. As one of our Birmingham Fellows recruited worldwide, he joined us and established his laboratory at Birmingham in 2012.

Professor of Plant Molecular Biology;
Head of Research School of Biosciences
School of Biosciences
Chris Franklin is a leading expert on meiosis in plants. Work in his laboratory has made a major contribution to the understanding of how meiotic recombination is controlled in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This knowledge is currently being transferred to crop species where the ability to modify genetic recombination will help plant breeders develop the new varieties that will be needed ...
