Research Interest
Biography
Mario graduated from Nusa Cendana University, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, where he majored in Crop Protection. Right after that, he got a 6-month contract to teach at the Biology Department of FMIPA Widya Mandira Catholic University in Kupang. After that, he pursued a master’s degree at the Master of Biotechnology (Advanced) program at the University of Queensland, Australia. He was working with the development of genetically modified organisms by trying to incorporate toxin peptides from the Australian funnel-web spider with the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana. Currently, Mario is working on an herbicide discovery and development project at the University of Western Australia for his Ph.D.
