Research Interest
Molecular genetics and Biotechnology The main focus of the work has been in the general area of genetics and biotechnology. The specific area of research is development and implementation of DNA marker Technology in aquaculture. The goal is to develop methods and use the technology for identifying trait associated genes and ultimately, Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) in prioritized freshwater fish and shellfish species.
