Biography

Gareth Jenkins graduated from the University of Liverpool and obtained his PhD from the University of Leeds in 1979, studying photosynthetic electron transport during leaf senescence under the supervision of Professor Harold Woolhouse. He undertook postdoctoral research with Professor David Cove in the Genetics Department at Leeds, where he worked on photo-responses in mutants of Physcomitrella patens. In 1982 he moved to the University of Warwick to work as a postdoctoral researcher on a molecular photobiology project with Dr John Bennett. He was one of the first researchers to show that the photoreceptor phytochrome controls transcript levels of plant genes. After a temporary lectureship in Warwick he joined the University of Glasgow as a lecturer in 1986. Following promotions to Senior Lecturer and Reader he was promoted to Professor of Plant Cell and Molecular Biology in 2000.

Gareth’s long-standing research interest is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in plant responses to light. Since 2000 the focus has been on plant responses to ultraviolet-B light. He has made leading contributions to understanding the structure, molecular mechanism of action, regulation and in vivo function of the UV-B photoreceptor UVR8. Gareth is an elected fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Royal Society of Biology.

Gareth is committed to education. He worked as a secondary school science teacher during a gap year before starting his PhD and ran adult education evening classes in plant science in Leeds and Warwick. In 2013 he obtained a Royal Society Partnership Grant to run a science project with a local primary school. In the University of Glasgow Gareth has been involved in teaching and curriculum development at all levels. For 10 years he led the development of the MSci degree programme, which involves a 1-year research placement. He initiated the MSc in Food Security and is presently its Programme Director.

Research interests
