Transcription

I was hardly more than a tourist when I first went. I just gasped at seeing the extraordinary main temple and and the great abundance of monuments and I knew nothing about those things in those days I've seen simply stuck to it because I realized there's nobody else doing the job so it seemed to me that I would have fun being a bit of a pioneer, I suppose you could say and dealing with all sorts of challenges of every kind, I mean health and food supply and methods of finding guides and so it was all just a wonderful challenge. I of course soon realized I had to take flash photographs and that really meant using two flashes, one as a fill in and another one at a raking angle but of course I was much more able as the photographer in those days than I was as a draftsman the I mean even doing the drawings I found I had to devise various conventions of drawing and I soon had to realize that I had really to correct the drawings at night because as the sculptures were in bare relief and nearly always rather eroded there would be very fine remains of incised lines, for instance, which were almost obliterated by erosion, but by casting the beam a light at a low, at a raking angle, you could you could you could retrieve them and so that became an important part of the way I did things. Draw them by day, do as much as I could by day, and then go back at night. I really haven't changed my methods very much and I certainly think I regard myself as very lucky as having stumbled into all this.

Education

Graham was educated at Castlederg Secondary School and Omagh Academy.[1] He studied Botany and Genetics at Queen's University Belfast where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in 1986.[3] He was awarded a PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 1989 for research investigating the structure and function of the malate synthase gene in cucumber supervised by Steven M. Smith and Chris J. Leaver.[6][7]

Career and research

From 1990 to 1993 he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Oxford.[8] He was appointed a lecturer in the division of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at University of Glasgow from 1994 to 1999. During 1994, he was a SERC/NATO funded research scientist in Department of Plant Biology at Stanford University. He has been Chair of Biochemical Genetics at York since 1999.

Graham's interests include how plants make and breakdown various metabolites, how these processes are controlled and how they impact on plant growth. He has used biochemical genetics to dissect the main metabolic pathways controlling oil mobilisation in Arabidopsis[9][10] seed and provided new insight into how a lipid based signal controls seed germination.[11][12] He has used similar approaches to investigate the synthesis of bioactive compounds in two of the world's major medicinal plants. This has led to new understanding of how genome rearrangement has shaped the evolution of plant metabolism. The discovery of a 10 gene cluster responsible for the production of the anti-cancer compound noscapine in opium poppy provided the tools for molecular breeding of new commercial varieties. The discovery of a novel Cytochrome P450oxidoreductase gene fusion described the last unknown step in synthesis of morphine and codeine. Characterisation and genetic mapping of traits responsible for production of artemisinin in Artemisia annua has enabled development of F1 hybrid seed that can deliver a robust source of this vital antimalarial medication for the developing countries.[13]

Awards and honours

Graham was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2016.[2] Additionally, Graham was elected as a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) in 2016,[citation needed] and was awarded the Biochemical Society's Heatley Medal and Prize in 2017.[citation needed]
