Jenny Mosse is a biochemist who teaches biochemistry and molecular biology. She is course adviser for students in the Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology) tagged degree and for all Science students studying an Applied Biology major sequence.

Jenny has a long-standing interest in science education, particularly in the development of innovative methods for flexible delivery of science programs to remote students and in designing science programs of both local and international relevance.

Teaching Commitments

Jenny is the unit advisor for the following units:

• BTH2741 - Biochemistry
• BTH2752 - Cellular metabolism
• BTH3722 - Medical microbiology
• BTH3752 - Molecular biology and biotechnology
• CHM3730 - Bioactive chemistry
