| Dr. John Browne is
a senior technical officer in the School of Agriculture and Food Science in
UCD. He successfully completed his PhD studies in NUI Maynooth where he gained
a thorough understanding of the challenges of working with RNA and developed
expertise in a number of methods to identify differentially expressed
genes. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship
in clinical research he returned to animal science in UCD where he is responsible
for managing both the Transcriptomics and the Containment Level 3
Laboratories. He contributes directly to
a number of funded research projects and has extensive expertise in the use of qPCR
and next generation sequencing to study gene expression. He is actively
involved in promoting best practice for qPCR experiments through the MIQE
guidelines, and has received certified training in the management of
Containment Level 3 facilities. |
