Hello, Onco_p53 is the user name for me: Bevan Weir. Onco means cancer as in Oncology, and p53 is a protein involved in causing / curing cancer. I invented this name early in my university life, my first degree was in Biotechnology.

I am from Auckland, New Zealand. My interest is in microbiology, particularly rhizobia which I studied for my PhD. My Wiki contributions reflect this, and my general interest in science. Finally my thesis has been published.

My infrequently updated blog can be found at http://bevanz.blogspot.com and my PhD web site is at http://www.rhizobia.co.nz
