Maurice Amee

He/Him
Graduate Student (PhD)

Degrees

MS in Molecular Genetics (2020), University of Chinese Academy of Sciences
MS in Bioinformatics and Molecular Biology (2017), Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology
BS in Biochemistry (2015), Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology

Research Interests

I am interested in molecular aspects of plant response to stress through genomic and transcriptomic approaches. Of particular interest is the evolution of plant immunity as defense against pathogens.

Fun Facts

If I wasn’t doing science I would certainly be a DJ. I enjoy music and prefer a personal selection.
