About Timothy Macqueen:
As a dedicated environmental professional, I am interested in plant ecology and plant genetics. During the past 5 years I have achieved the following:
Developed a novel genetic method for detecting hybrid Proteas.
Selected from over 1000 applicants for the WWF graduate leader’s internship.
Redesigned the laboratory DNA extraction protocol for Protea leaves to obtain better DNA yields than standard plant DNA extraction kits (and at 1% of the usual cost). The exacting standards for precision and accuracy required in a molecular laboratory will be an asset in any scientific environment.
Designed primers to use for detecting detect hybrid Proteas via gel electrophoresis.
