Keith Post is pursuing his M.S. degree at SUNY-College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Keith’s research involves insect interactions with genetically modified elm and chestnut to see if transgene expression itself, or the inexact gene insertion process, has any non-target effects on typical herbivorous insects. His research results will provide quantitative data for determining whether forest restoration using these particular transgenic trees is environmentally safe.
