My role in our group incorporates responsibilities which span from Health Safety, regulatory and project specific training compliance to varied academic research projects. Presently I am involved in a wide variety of genomic, molecular biological and immunological projects. In addition, while I have studied a vast range of model organisms primarily within lab settings, I have also had several recent opportunities for field research. This varied background has prepared me for my current position. I eagerly look forward to many new projects and opportunities.
