Master’s Thesis (Research)

The Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI)
07.2023 - 12.2023
  • Company Overview: University of Queensland
  • Investigated mitigating methane emissions in ruminant livestock, a key contributing greenhouse gas to global warming
  • Methane is produced in ruminants via enteric fermentation, a process carried out by specific archaea known as methanogens
  • The process of methanogenesis is catalysed by unique enzymes which prompted my investigation for the potential of applying RNA interference to target key enzymes in the pathway
  • University of Queensland
