Personal profile
I am a Doctoral student funded by a TECHNE AHRC training partnership between Royal Holloway and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. I will be examining the collections and collectors of the 19th Century cinchona barks (the source of quinine, the only contemporary cure for malaria) that lie in Kew's Economic Botany Collection.
