Hi my name is Danielle Davenport and I am from Gippsland in country Victoria, Australia. I have recently joined the Molecular Fisheries Laboratory (MFL) as a new PhD student under the supervision of Jennifer Ovenden. Prior to joining the MFL, I completed my undergraduate studies in the marine environment at the University of Tasmania and worked for a time in the aquaculture industry. I recently completed my masters degree in Bioinformatics at the University of Queensland where I became interested in using bioinformatic tools and genetic research to inform conservation and management of marine fisheries. The PhD project with the MFL is one part of a larger collaboration between UQ and the Danish Technical University. The project aims to understand the structure and demographies of white shark populations over time using historical (jaws, bones) and contemporary white shark samples.Latest News
