Dr Robert Coleman's research interests focus around the development and application of novel, biologically based, analytical techniques. Such techniques include the development of immunodiagnostic methods, which have been applied to a range of biological specialisms, from the detection of disease biomarkers, to the analysis of hormones for the purposes of understanding, protecting and conserving domestic and wild animal species. Dr Coleman also has significant experience utilising genetic methods for the purposes of identification and for the monitoring of gene expression.
