Current teaching areas
Christine moved to a lecturer's position at Griffith University at the beginning of 2005, teaching genetics, molecular biology and bioinformatics to undergraduate science students. One of her teaching goals is to train all Griffith undergraduate biology students to access and interpret the wealth of information to be found in genome databases. Christine hosts several undergraduate research projects in her laboratory and in 2007 supervises three PhD students and one honours student.
