eDNA Frontiers
eDNA Frontiers is located at Curtin University and they specialise in advanced metabarcode sequencing techniques to detect environmental DNA (eDNA) for biodiversity applications. eDNA Frontiers uses its expertise in isolating and characterising environmental DNA to address a variety of applied biological questions, spanning application fields including the oil/gas and minerals sector, environmental impact assessments, national and international conservation and fisheries studies, and invasive species screening programs for ports, shipping zones & infrastructure builds.
The team explore and build upon new eDNA technologies developed with collaborators at the Trace and Environmental DNA lab (TrEnD) at Curtin University. User access is open to industry, government and the community as a commercial service provider and as a research partner.
