Congrats Matthew – M.S. Graduate

January 1, 2023Graduationamencerr

Matthew Michel graduated with a Master of Science from the Agricultural and Environmental Chemistry Group. During his time at the Nicklisch Laboratory Matthew worked on the design of database tools analyzing transporter-chemical interactions and method development projects for isolating vacuoles from plant tissue.

In the future Matthew wants to continue to do work with agricultural chemistry, specifically in plant breeding and molecular characterization of crops.

All the best wishes in his future endeavors for M.S. Matthew Michel!
