Research Interests
My research focus is Human Molecular Genetics. This involves identifying genetic changes that contribute to hereditary disorders common in New Zealand and will provide further insight into the molecular and cellular mechanisms that cause these observable phenotypic changes (ie, characteristic changes).
This research will involve using a variety of bioinformatic, genetic, cell and molecular biology techniques. All research students acquire basic research skills and a knowledge of techniques, as well as training in specialist disciplines.
