Since September 2022, John has worked as the project manager for the Cultured Meat and Farmers research project at the RAU.
Prior to joining the RAU in October 2014 as a senior lecturer in Food Supply Management, John worked as an R&D scientist and project manager at Campden BRI for 14 years, where he developed and validated DNA-based assays to confirm the authenticity of meat, fish and other food products in the agri-food industry.
Before this, John completed his PhD in Rhizobium (which are nitrogen fixing bacteria) genetics at the Royal Agricultural College, before moving to Tufts University, Massachusetts, USA to investigate the genetics of growth and disease resistance in farmed shrimp. He then moved to TCD, Dublin, Ireland to study the genetics of Thoroughbred horses and then to Nottingham University to develop DNA based assays for meat species, which led to his joining Campden BRI.
