Professor Mick Tuite joined the School of Biosciences in 1983 after conducting postdoctoral research at the University of California (1978-81) and the University of Oxford (1981-83). He began his research studies on yeast whilst a PhD student under the supervision of Dr Brian Cox at the ‘Botany School’ in Oxford. His research interests have largely focused on the mechanism and control of translation in yeast but more recently his interests have moved to yeast prion proteins and molecular chaperones. The research in his group has been extensively funded by grants from the BBSRC, Wellcome Trust and the Leverhulme Trust.
Mick is a member of the Kent Fungal Group and deputy Chair of the Scientific Conferences Committee of the Microbiology Society.
