With the potential to supply biosecurity authorities with valuable information required for operational decisions, this programme explores state-of-the-art analytical techniques for border diagnostics.
We work closely with MAFBNZ to stay informed of the changing biosecurity needs of New Zealand and ensure that our research makes current border diagnostic practices more efficient and flexible.
This programme comprises three major projects:
DNA Barcoding
Natural abundance geo-chemicals for determining the origin of intercepted exotic insects
Better Border Biosecurity (B3)
Other related research
