Biography
Dr. Claire Streten-Joyce is a Research Scientist (Molecular Biology) in the Sustainable Coastal Ecosystems and Industries in Tropical Australia Program.She was awarded my PhD in 2005 by Charles Darwin University. My thesis was entitled "Australian strawberry diseases", the study used molecular biology techniques to understand the organisms associated with strawberry diseases in Queensland. In 2007, her research focus shifted from plant pathology to molecular microbial ecology. Since changing fields, her research has investigated the relationship between microbial communities and metal concentrations in sediment and the water column.
