Mr Mark Edwards Mark completed his honours degree in 2004 at the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory, Murdoch University, WA. In March 2005, Mark commenced a PhD project supported by the Grain Foods CRC Ltd based at BRI Australia, (Sydney). This research is investigating the genetic expression of wheat grain features influencing milling quality.
