معرفی
Jan Strugnell is a Professor at James Cook University, specializing in marine genomics and proteomics. Her research bridges applied and fundamental questions, focusing on climate change impacts, fisheries sustainability, and Antarctic biodiversity. She holds a BSc (hons) from James Cook University and a DPhil from Oxford University, funded by a Rhodes Scholarship.
Education:
- BSc (hons), James Cook University (1995–1999)
- DPhil in Zoology, Oxford University, UK (2000–2004), Rhodes Scholar
Research Interests:
Her work integrates genomic and proteomic techniques to study marine organisms' evolution and function. Key areas include:
- Climate-driven species redistribution and eDNA applications
- Genetic basis of abalone resilience to temperature stress
- Antarctic and deep-sea cephalopod evolution
- Fisheries and aquaculture genomics
Scientific Awards:
- James Cook University Outstanding Alumni Award (2010)
- Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Grant (2015)
- 40 under 40 by Impact Design Hub (2016)
Advising & Grants:
Supervises PhD and postdoctoral researchers in coral genomics, eDNA, and fisheries genetics. Active in ARC and FRDC-funded projects focused on abalone resilience, lobster connectivity, and Antarctic ice sheet modeling.
Current projects include genomic selection in corals and abalone, and eDNA-based biosecurity frameworks for Antarctica.
