Hire Dr. Marc Moragues

United States

Summary

I have 11+ years of experience developing research in the field of plant breeding and genetics. I developed strong skills in experimental design, data analysis of field experiments as well as gene mapping using both QTL mapping and Association mapping approaches. In my research I have combined genetics, physiology and breeding to address drought stress tolerance and develop more efficient selection methods. I am available to work on manuscript review, experimental design and data analysis.
