Practical science skills, including bioassay, natural product screening and bioinformatics methodology, are taught to prepare you for the practical research project.
This field involves the use of a number of applied and pure sciences, including bioinformatics, biocatalysts, kinetics, mass and heat transfer, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
This requires a large-scale genotyping and bioinformatics program, in crop and model systems, that relates allelic variants to gene function.
