Michael Webster Bevan FRS (born 5 June 1952)[1] is a Professor at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK.[4][5][6][7]

Education

Bevan was educated at the University of Auckland where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science in 1973 and a Master of Science in 1974. He went on to study at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he was awarded a PhD in 1979 for work on differentiation in plant tissue cultures.[8]

Research and career

Following his PhD, Bevan did postdoctoral research with Mary-Dell Chilton at Washington University in St. Louis[9][10][11][12] where he identified ways to make functional chimaeric genes based on knowledge of gene function.[4]

Bevan returned to the UK at the Plant Breeding Institute, Cambridge[13][14] in 1980, part of the Agricultural and Food Research Council (AFRC). This became the John Innes Centre of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) where he has worked since 1988.[1]

As of 2014, Bevan's laboratory focus on the molecular control of plant growth.[15][16][17][18][19]

Awards and honours

Bevan was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2013. His nomination reads:
