Camilla B Hill

PeerJ Editor

Summary

Dr Camilla Hill was awarded a Ph.D. in crop biochemistry and genetics (2014) from the University of Melbourne (Australia). Her main areas of expertise are plant genetics and genomics, analytical plant biochemistry, plant phenology and plant stress physiology. She has a strong background in using molecular and quantitative genetics as well as genomics technologies (metabolomics, next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics) to understand the impact of environmental stresses on plant growth, development, and grain yield potential.
