Research project:
Structural and functional analysis of the cryIAb (Bt) insecticidal protein produced in different biological hosts and environments

Dr. David Quist is currently a senior scientist at the Norwegian Institute of Gene Ecology in Tromsø, Norway. He received his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, where he studied the fate of transgenic DNA in traditional varieties of maize in Oaxaca, Mexico. David’s research interests focus on interactions, rather than static descriptive states of novel biologics in different host milieus. His current work focuses on the biology and detection of transgenes in varying biological and ecological contexts, risk research in emerging biotechnologies, and epigenetic interactions at multiple levels of biological organization.
