Biography

Beverley Glover, FLS, is Professor of Plant Systematics and Evolution in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Cambridge and Director of the Cambridge University Botanic Garden.

Beverley came to Cambridge in 1996 following a PhD at the John Innes Centre in Norwich. Her main area of interest is the evolution and development of floral features which attract pollinating animals. She is keen to approach questions of floral evolution in an integrative way, combining molecular genetic approaches to understand floral development with functional analyses using bumblebees and other pollinators. Where possible, these projects are carried out with regard to the phylogenetic context. The research group’s work on these topics is underpinned by the living collection of Cambridge University Botanic Garden.

She has been a member of the council of the European society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology, the Systematics Association, and is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. She is also a member of the Editorial Board for Current Biology.
