Genomics in Aquaculture

Dr Simon MacKenzie is Senior Lecturer in Marine Biotechnology at the Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling, UK. He is a known expert in the field of evolutionary biology and nanotechnology toward improving health in aquaculture and whole genome sequencing. He has published ~60 articles and has contributed to book chapters.
