Curriculum Vitae
 
 
Ing. Christa Mateman (1970) graduated as biochemical technician in 1993 at the "Hoge School Enschede". In her final year she worked as a student at the NIZO (Netherlands Institute for Dairy Research) developing markers for detection and identification of lactic acid bacteria. She started working for the NIOO in 1993, initially for the Department of Plant Population Biology and subsequently for the Department of Animal Population Biology. Her work involves developing techniques for sexing birds, screening for extra pair copulations (DNA fingerprinting), studying genetic variation (microsatellites) and phylogeny (sequence analyses). To learn new techniques and meet other people she visited the follwing places:
 
2009 Course Genomics Wageningen University
2007 Visit University of Sheffield to follow AFLP course
2005 Visit Univeristy of Edinburgh to learn how to use microsatellite data for population studies
2003 Visit University of Cambridge to learn how to develop an enriched library to find microsatellites
1996 Visit three labs in the UK to learn more about microsatellites 
(Institute of Zoology in Oxford; University of Cambridge and University of Leicester)
