Background
Lynne Joined Cranfield University in 2019 as a research technician having previously worked for Glaxo SmithKline and Syngenta in molecular biology and plant science. Since joining Cranfield, Lynne has developed her research capabilities and in 2023 was promoted to lead the SABS research technical team managing the glasshouse and soil health facilities. Lynne is a registered scientist and a member of the UK Controlled Environment Group. Lynne has developed a succesful research technical team which is involved in a wide range of research projects funded by UKRI or directly from industry. Lynne also acts as Principle Investigator on plant growth trial projects.
Current activities
Lynne leads a research technical team involved in multidisciplinary plant growth and soil projects. Many of these are focused on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, fertiliser use or water use without an impact on crop production. Her current activities include work on novel natural biostimulats and genetics of root vigour. These projects are funded by UKRI or directly from industry.
Lynne manages the glasshouse facilities and is working to reduce the energy consumption of these facilities.
