Boy Standing with StickMolecular Lab Technician
Email: brandonparker@ufl.edu

I am the molecular lab technician for the Kawahara Lab. My role involves managing personnel and conducting molecular research as I assist the lab with ongoing projects. In addition to my work in the Kawahara lab, I also maintain an active interest in conservation genetics, disease ecology, and virology. In my free time I enjoy kayaking, hiking, and traveling.
