معرفی
Dr. Emma Peel is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Sydney's School of Life and Environmental Sciences, within the Faculty of Science. Her research focuses on genomic and immunological approaches to understand wildlife health, conservation, and disease dynamics, particularly in marsupials and monotremes. She is a member of The Centre for Drug Discovery Innovation and leads studies on antimicrobial peptides, genetic diversity in endangered species, and immune responses in transmissible cancers like Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD).
Her work integrates cutting-edge genomic technologies with ecological and conservation goals, emphasizing species such as the Tasmanian devil, koala, and swift parrot. Key themes include immune system evolution in unique mammals, genetic strategies for endangered species recovery, and the application of genomic data to wildlife management.
Dr. Peel collaborates with institutions globally, including Indigenous communities, to enhance conservation outcomes. She maintains an active research website: wildlife-genomics.sydney.edu.au.
