Fellow, Royal Society of Biology
Area(s) of Expertise
COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY AND BIOINFORMATICS, GENETICS, VETERINARY CANCER CARE
Dr. Matthew Breen’s research focuses on genomics, genome mapping and the comparative aspects of canine cancer. In addition his lab is using high throughput molecular cytogenetics for anchoring emerging genome assemblies and for evaluating the changes to genome structure that occur during speciation. The lab is also developing new molecular assays for diagnostic and prognostic use in veterinary medicine.
