Doctoral (PhD) Fellow
HIROSHIMA UNIVERSITY
10.2017 - 09.2020
- I led a project focused on the genetic and epigenetic basis of trait variation and evolutionary processes in Tilapia introduced into various ecogeographic regions in Japan.
- Led a project to unravel the 16S rRNA identities of environmental bacterial associations with GIT microflora in resident teleosts.
- Led a project targeting the immunomodulatory and humoral immune potentials of pathogen-antigenic extracellular bioactive molecules for application in teleost aquaculture.
- Led a project focused on molecular and biochemical characterization of 0.2µm filterable oligotrophic bacteria isolates of importance to the candidate phyla radiation (doi:10.1038/nature14486): unveiling a significant evolutionary revelation.
- I computed complex statistical analyses and interpreted data using R, R, SPSS, BioEdit, GenStat, DnaSP, Arlequin, PoPart, PAST, and Network.
- I supported and supervised other researchers in research programs by brainstorming areas for potential research and publishing papers on completed projects.
- Authored professional scientific papers for publishing in peer-reviewed journals.
