OBIS secretariat now has two experts in eDNA
OBIS has a key role in several new projects that use eDNA or aim to further improve this technology for biological monitoring and we are glad to announce that we now have two knowledgeable staff members in our OBIS secretariat who are experts in eDNA - Dr Emilie Boulanger (consultant) and Dr Saara Suominen (project appointment).
Saara Suominen joined the OBIS secretariat
We welcome Ms Saara Suominen (Finland) at the OBIS secretariat. She will support us in setting up a monitoring plan for early detection of invasive species, utilizing eDNA analysis, as part of the PacMAN Project (Pacific Islands Marine Bioinvasions Alert Network), funded by the Government of Flanders, as well as providing helpdesk support to OBIS nodes and users.
