Bio
Xander Anderson
Renato is a highly skilled and accomplished laboratory scientist with specialities in fluorescence calcium imaging and microscopy. Renato has a breadth of experience researching pollen tubes, whole plants and root hairs, and his mastery in plant imaging has gifted him with several publications in highly respected journals demonstrating his innovative work in these areas. In addition, Renato's experience in the advertising industry has provided him with essential skills in presentation in communication. Renato is an articulate, polite and friendly individual, actively participating in weekly laboratory meetings, and is an important part of the laboratory social life. He interacts well with other members of the laboratory and is always willing to spare time helping others. In particular, Renato has helped supervise several summer and research project students. I am certain Renatos range of skills would set him well above other applicants and would enthusiastically endorse Renato for employment.
