معرفی
Associate Professor Nathan Bott is Deputy Head of the Department of Biology at RMIT University's School of Science, focusing on parasitology, marine biosecurity, and molecular diagnostics in aquaculture. His research integrates fundamental and applied marine science to develop tools for parasite surveillance and management, particularly targeting blood flukes in bluefin tuna. He holds expertise in genomics, transcriptomics, and glycomics of economically important parasites.
Research Interests:
- Aquatic animal health and biosecurity
- Parasite genetics and genomics
- Point-of-care diagnostics
- Marine parasite ecology
Articles Trends: Recent work emphasizes molecular tools for parasite detection, host-parasite interactions, and sustainable aquaculture solutions. Key contributions include genomic studies of blood flukes and eDNA applications in marine pest detection.
Advising & Grants: Supervises research in parasite diagnostics and aquaculture. Collaborates on projects funded by industry and government, focusing on tuna health and biosecurity.
Labs/Teams: Leads research groups in marine parasitology and molecular diagnostics at RMIT’s School of Science.
