Yufei Zhou
PhD Student
Originally from China, Yufei has a passion for marine biology which led to her undertaking a Masters degree in Australia, which involved learning about eDNA and how it could be applied to marine biodiversity investigation.
Yufei worked on the project: “Skipjack tuna as an indicator of ecosystem change using real-time genomic technology”. In this project, Yufei investigated skipjack tunas' diet and gut microbiome with eDNA methods, including DNA metabarcoding and high-throughput sequencing. Yufei also tested the feasibility of novel genomic technology, Oxford Nanopore Technology, in eDNA, diet, and gut microbiome analyses. Yufei likes tuna sushi and therefore really enjoyed working on the project!
