Dr Agnelo Furtado BSc(Bombay) MSc(Bombay) PhD(UQ) 

Agnelo joined the Centre for Plant Conservation Genetics as a Research Fellow to work on
the Molecular Plant Breeding CRC, to develop and use promoter elements as tools to
understand the regulation of gene expression and also to control transgene expression for
transgenic breeding in wheat. Agnelo obtained a PhD degree in Biochemistry from the
University of Queensland, Australia, and a BSc and MSc from the University of Bombay,
India.
