"Rogue trees are being ‘fingered’ by gene
detectives using a well-known technique to catch criminals. Newcastle University
scientists are using DNA fingerprinting to help insurers identify trees that are
causing houses to subside"....
Dr. Kirsten
Wolff's Research Interests
Broad research interests in molecular
ecology:
1) molecular evolution in plants
2) population structure in general, and in Plantago species in particular
3) use of molecular tools for cultivar identification
Dr. Marie Hale's
Research Interests
My main interests involve studying
evolution at the level of local populations, conservation genetics in general,
and molecular evolution in plants. Recent projects include microsatellite
evolution in the genus Clusia (Clusiaceae).
Recently, Arthur
Leewis has been appointed as Laboratory manager.
Arthur will take care of the day-to-day
running of the lab.
He has a long track record of successfully
managing different groups in different environments, ranging from private
companies to an IT department in the NHS. |
