My research aims to help secure the biodiversity of threatened aquatic species to support research and recovery programs, with an emphasis on coral reef ecosystems. This includes the development, upscaling, and implementation of cryopreservation technologies, and the establishment of biorepository systems and processes in Australia and internationally.
