Mr. P Head

Post Doctoral Fellow

Research: Potato genomics, with aim of reducing herbivory, potato/algal transgenics.

I'm originally from PEI, and I completed my MSc on "Social ramifications of limb grafting on potatoes, with particular attention to googly eyes". I am excited about my future, I feel the Saunders Lab is a place that I can really branch out.
