Rate My Professor Benjamin Roberts

Dr Benjamin Roberts is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences within the College of Health at Adelaide University. He is eligible to supervise Masters and PhD students as a co-supervisor. Roberts contributes to teaching, including the course BIOL 2057 Genes to Proteins scheduled for 2025. His academic career includes prior affiliations with the School of Pharmaceutical, Molecular and Biomedical Sciences at the University of South Australia, as indicated in publication records from that period.

Roberts has authored or co-authored several peer-reviewed publications spanning molecular biology, genetics, and related fields. Key works include: Saidin, A., Cherepnalkovski, A.
