• Email me through OpenWetWare

I learned about OpenWetWare from through the IGem site, and I've joined because interested in making science knowledge and techniques accessible to a wider hobbiest culture.

Education

• 2002, PhD in Molecular Biotechnology, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Queensland/CRC for Tissue Growth and Repair, CSIRO, Adelaide, South Australia
• 1996, Biotechnology Bachelor(Hons), Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia

Research interests

1. open source biology, techniques and equiptment
