Résumé
We are applying for a replacement ultra-low temperature freezer to store critical samples and reagents. This freezer will facilitate research in two different labs. The Sinclair lab focuses on the biology of insects at low temperatures, and conducts research on the molecular and biochemical bases of insect thermal performance, as well as investigating the responses of insects to changing temperatures across their geographic range and with climate change. The Macfie lab examines the processes by which plants are able to tolerate heavy metal exposure, including studies of the molecular, biochemical and biological interactions required to detoxify heavy metals.
