Rachel Tulloch
Research Fellow
Rachel is a Post Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Canberra within the ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Plant Biosecurity, her research focuses on determining the provenance of invasive pests using genomic data. By analysing population genetic signatures, she works to reconstruct incursion pathways, distinguish between single and multiple introduction events, and assess ongoing reinvasion risk.
By integrating advanced sequencing technologies with robust bioinformatic pipelines, she translates complex genomic data into operational insights for policy and decision-makers. Her overarching objective is to ensure that advances in genomics deliver practical, evidence-based outcomes for Australia’s plant biosecurity system through strong partnerships with DAFF, industry, and Training Centre researchers.
