Tristan Baecklund

Laboratory Demonstrator (Graduate)
tbaecklund@trentu.ca
Ext. @6291

My time at Trent began with completing a B.Sc.F.S (Hons) where I developed an avid interest for wildlife genetics. This led me to complete my Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Kyle, investigating signatures of selection associated with disease among fox and bat host species. As the graduate demonstrator, you can find me supporting the Advanced DNA Typing  (5010), Complex Crime Scene Analysis (5040), and any other M.Sc.F.S. courses with laboratory components. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with!
