Biographical: I received my B.A. in Biochemistry from the University of Oxford (1974), my Ph.D. degree in analytical plant biochemistry, physiology and pathology from the University of Cambridge (1979) and pursued postdoctoral research in University College Dublin and the University of Glasgow in plant cell culture, hormonal control of plant growth and development, enzymology and the molecular actions of xenobiotics. I joined the biotech spinout company Bioflux Ltd. (Glasgow) in 1988, and became Technical Director (1991) and Managing Director (1997). The company name was changed in 2002 to beòcarta Ltd. (literally, “life-map”), a combination of words from Celtic languages and Latin to reflect the international nature of the company’s work with industrial clients in Europe, the United States, Japan, India and Korea in microbial and animal cell systems for the commercial production of recombinant proteins, secondary products (antibiotics, antifungals, and enzyme inhibitors), vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, and carboxylic acids. An author of three monographs on biofuels and biorefineries, I continue to direct beòcarta’s work on the economic improvement of microbial fermentations for established products and novel metabolites, plant biomass systems, bioenergy, technology transfer between Europe, the United States, Asia and the Pacific Rim, and to publish journal articles on microbial metabolism, biotechnology and bioenergy.
