Rotorua, New Zealand

- HSNO laboratory manager and H&S rep for the Biotransformation group.- My research focus was on the isolation and functional characterisation of lignin and cell-wall development genes in Pinus radiata xylogenic cell cultures and transgenic trees.

Rotorua, New Zealand

- HSNO laboratory manager and H&S rep for the Genomics group. - My research focus was on the isolation and characterisation of SSR markers from pine for use in the Molecular marker development project. This involved both de novo marker development by sequencing clones from Pinus radiata SSR-enriched libraries as well as assessing P. taeda SSRs to define a.
