Dr. Ian R. Bradbury

Dr Ian Bradbury is a research scientist with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Originally from Newfoundland he completed his PhD in 2007 at Dalhousie University and started with DFO in 2010. His research uses genomic tools to inform the conservation and management of marine and anadromous species from throughout North America.
