- Metabarcoding method development -

test text

Hey there!

I develop DNA based methods for assessing biodiversity, which I apply together with many collaborators to the most pressing ecological questions and challenges of our time. Currently I am developing the Mobile Biodiversity Lab, a Nanopore Sequencing based backpack laboratory for detection of fish from Environmental DNA.
