Tropical Fruit and Plant Genetics
- Used CRISPR cas-9 technology to modify vanilla plant genomes in order to improve crop production and yield.
- Prepared cultivation media to assist my mentor with micropropagation.
- Did DNA testing on a variety of tropical fruits. This includes using NanoDrop and Gel Electrophoresis technology to determine the
viability of certain DNA samples.
- Worked to develop a new, innovative and cheaper method of Cymbidium mosaic virus testing along side my mentor using PCR technology.
