Michelle Barr left this group in the Spring of 2004.
She did her first degree in Applied Biology at the University of Bath and graduated in 2000. As part of her degree she spent a year working at CEH Oxford looking at
the impact of genetically modified Pseudomonads on an indigenous community.
She started her PhD here in 2000, and worked on developing an in vivo selection system for the isolation of environmentally induced genes in Rhizobia, with the aim of isolating genes with environmental relevance to help understand the molecular basis for the interaction between Rhizobia and their legume hosts.
