INFRAGECO would like to welcome Adam J. D. Marques to the team as our new laboratory technician based at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência. As a MSc graduate from Trent University, Canada, Adam has laboratory experience both in traditional Sanger sequencing as well as preparing sample libraries for next-generation sequencing. His previous research focused on characterizing adaptations among populations of woodland caribou and American pika. As part of the PCG team he will be managing sample collections, extracting DNA from field samples, and preparing genomic data for sequencing.
