Enlisted graduates

Short bio I've been very fortunate to have spent more than ten years in a stimulating research environment in the Genetics Department at Stellenbosch University. The focus of my work to date has been on applying molecular biology tools to study plant-pathogen interactions in two economically important woody perennial crops, namely grapevine and citrus. This has provided valuable opportunities to acquire the hard skills necessary to accurately and rigorously conduct scientific research in a laboratory environment, but also the soft skills that accompany successfully working within a larger group. I'm passionate about making a success of my undertakings, and also contributing positively to the success of any team I form part of, be it in a leadership capacity or otherwise.
