Karyn Moore
Research Scientist
Bachelor of Biological Sciences with Honours (Genetics)
Karyn is the go-to person when it comes to Lab Management and Research Support at Cesar Australia. She might be new to the world of agricultural pests and pesticides, but in terms of ordering supplies, implementing security standards, inducting employees, and supervising quality control, she is passionate and always happy to lend a hand.
Karyn grew up in the Yarra Valley surrounded by agriculture and farm animals. Her passion for biology led her to study Biological Science at Deakin University then honours in Molecular Genetics at Monash University. Karyn lived in London for 2 years and prioritised seeing the world. She has more than 10 years of experience as a Research Assistant and Laboratory Manager in Drosophila Molecular Genetics. Her previous projects have studied proteins involved in heavy metal transport, growth, development and disease.
When she’s not at work, Karyn enjoys spending time with her young family.
