About Me

Museomics Epigenetics Conservation

 

I use molecular data to investigate how wildlife responds to current and historical environmental change. I am a Research Scientist at the Australian National Wildlife Collection (CSIRO) where I am developing new techniques to extract molecular information from unexpected places. I am leading projects designing platforms to capture airborne environmental DNA and I advise on a number of projects using approaches I have developed to extract historical gene expression information from century-old museum specimens preserved in formalin.

@erin_e_hahn @mralexandervir @c_frere @NicolaEKent We have a bit of an explainer of this article published on the Nature blog now. Great for a more accessible entry to how might use this technique and for what type of application:

What could we learn about how species cope with environmental change if we had a time machine?

What if I told you we built one?

Check out my team’s method for turning old specimens into an epigenomic time machine.
