Elise Furlan

Elise Furlan is an ARC DECRA Fellow at University of Canberra, specializing in molecular genetics for conservation. Her research develops environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques for biodiversity monitoring and ecosystem management.

Research focuses on population genetics applications for endangered species conservation and invasive species detection. Recent publications demonstrate innovative eDNA methodologies for aquatic biomass estimation and species monitoring.

Collaborations with government agencies ensure research translates into practical conservation outcomes. Current DECRA project (2023-2028) revolutionizes conservation through eDNA-based population genetics.

Awards include the prestigious ARC DECRA Fellowship supporting her pioneering work.
