I joined Forest Molecular Genetics (FMG) group as a tissue culture intern in the tissue culture and transformation platform in 2016. In 2017, i was employed as a laboratory technician in the Tissue Culture and Transformation platform at FMG. This platform host and routinely micro-propagate a variety of different Eucalyptus genotypes. I am involved in the micro-propagation of Eucalyptus and Poplar plants, this include providing technical assistance in Agrobacteium transformation experiments and screening of the transformed lines using greenhouse trials.
