Kristine J. Hardeman

Kristine Hardeman teaches cells labs, genetics labs and preparation. She also teaches a seminar on genetically modified crops.

After receiving her Ph.D., she was actively involved in research in plant molecular biology both in academic labs and in the agricultural industry for many years. She studied pollen and embryo development in maize, carried out gene mapping in tomatoes and worked on making drought tolerant corn.

Some of her recent publications:
