Biografi Prof Mackenzie
His interests lie in fish health integrating behaviour, immunity and bioinformatics toward improving health in aquaculture. His approach includes an integrative suite of methods both experimental and theoretical spanning across the fields of behavioural ecology, evolution and immunity. This is underpinned by the application of state of the art -omics techniques including proteomics, transcriptomics and microbiome analysis and WGS supported within a proven bioinformatic strategy. Throughout his career to date his major academic interest has become to explore how immunity has evolved and recently how environmental conditions, particularly temperature, modulate the plasticity of the immune response.
