Professional Summary

From: Terrell, TX

Supervising Professor: Michael Thomson

Research focus: The focus of my research is genetic engineering. I’m attempting to knockout the THC gene in hemp so that farmers wouldn’t have to worry about burning their industrial hemp crop due THC levels above the federal legal limit of 0.3%.
