Research Intrest

Forensic DNA, in particular molecular biology of complex mixtures such as detritus and metagenomes and the development of forensic-DNA technique; particularly for high-speed low cost applications such as DVI . Macrofungal genetics and the production and extraction of antiobiotics from macrofungi. Emeritis Prof. Burgoyne is mainly offering co-supervision for students that wish to do a main study in molecular forensic science of detritus (not humans or vertebrates) or closely related problems in ecology where it is necessary for custom-developed molecular methods to be developed for a project. Such a student would need a principal supervisor as well as Prof. Burgoyne as co-supervisor.
