Joseph McKenna

Biography

Joe is a cell biologist and research fellow at the University of Warwick. He was previously based in the Bioimaging centre at Oxford Brookes University. His BSc degree was from the University of Birmingham followed by an MRes and DPhil at Imperial College London.

His research interests lie in the application of light microscopy to uncover how different components of the plant cell are organised. This has lead to the use of advanced imaging technologies such as Airyscan and Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Single Particle imaging to probe intracellular organisation and factors affecting it.

He has worked on the plant plasma-membrane and showed that the cell wall affects the organisation and dynamics of specialised protein nanodomains located within it. This work would not have been possible without the application of emerging technologies in light microscopy.

More recently he is working with Professor Lorenzo Frigerio at Warwick university on the organisation and biogenesis of protein storage vacuoles, a specialised form of vacuole in seed plants.
