Tom Burdon
Dr. Tom Burdon was a member of our laboratory from 1989 to 1991 and he studied the control of the mammary-specific and hormone-controlled gene promoters in transgenic mice. Tom received his Ph.D. from the University of Nottingham in England in 1988 where he studied recombinant rabbit caseins. Currently he is a member of the Centre for Genome Research at the University of Edinburgh (Scotland).
