Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Overview
Yasmine Lam is a researcher within the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation at the University of Queensland. Her main areas of interest are using biotehnological tools like gene editing to dissect key traits of interest in cereals to further understand the molecular mechanisms that underpin phenotypes. Currently, her main focus is dissecting various components of plant architecture using CRISPR and a holistic phenotyping approach to further disseminate the influences these genes can have for future trait improvement in key cereal crops.
