I work in the OVC Pathobiology department at Guelph University. I learned about OpenWetWare from iGEM and Andrew Hessel, and I've joined because Competing in iGEM secured strong interest in synthetic biology; intend of pursuing career in this area.
Education
- 2010, BSc Honors Molecular Biology & Genetics, Minor Neuroscience, University of Guelph
Synthetic Biology Experience
- Awarded Bronze metal in iGEM 2008 representing the University of Guelph with goal of engineering food grade bacteria to produce beta-carotene. Proof of concept completed in E.coli.
