Postdoctoral fellow for the BIOSCAN UK flying insects project to document UK insect diversity and discover species interactions
My research is on the use of DNA-based techniques to document insect diversity in the UK and to elucidate any cobiont interactions.
To future proof collected insect specimens, our group uses non-destructive DNA extraction techniques coupled with both long/short reads sequencing platforms to achieve our aims.
