Hills, Melissa - MacEwan University - Department of Biological Sciences

个人简介

Following completion of a B.Sc. at the University of Alberta with first class honors in molecular genetics, Dr. Hills completed her PhD at the Australian National University investigating the molecular basis of flowering regulation in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. In addition to her faculty position at MacEwan University, she is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Alberta in the Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutritional Science. This position is a recognition of an ongoing collaboration with Professor Linda Hall who conducts environmental safety research into genetically engineered crop species.

研究领域

Dr. Hills recognizes the integral role played by research in an undergraduate education in science and is committed to providing opportunities for students to engage in research in the areas of molecular biology and plant science.
