Conservation Biology and Genetics

We study how to preserve biodiversity and sustain healthy ecosystems by integrating biology, technology, and management practices.

What we study and how we do it

Our research focuses on understanding the genetic, ecological, and evolutionary factors that shape species survival. We use advanced molecular tools—such as genomics, metagenomics, and transcriptomics—to assess genetic diversity, population dynamics, and evolutionary history. By uncovering how species adapt and interact, we identify the most effective strategies to prevent extinction and maintain ecosystem balance.

Why it matters and how it’s applied

Our work supports science-based conservation and resource management across diverse landscapes. We collaborate with agencies, conservation organizations, and local communities to protect species and habitats under threat. By preserving biodiversity, we help ensure the stability of ecosystems that provide essential services—from clean water to climate regulation and food security.
