Rupert has previously worked in scientific research. In Brunei he worked on Orang-Utan conservation, assessing the rainforest for their potential rehabilitation. In Canada he has researched bone metabolism, moving to France to study the evolution of bone mineralization. He has published in the peer-reviewed journal PLoS on Natural Killer cells, focussing on the immune cell synapse. This work aimed to show how signals from cells such as cancers and virus-infected cells can elicit an immune response.
Rupert holds a first degree in biology at Imperial College London, from which he has moved into economics, studying courses at LSE and an MSc at UCL, London. His main research areas are the impact of growth on the environment, valuing the environment and how policy can be made to increase sustainability.
