Cecilia is passionate about using genetic tools for the sustainable management of aquatic and terrestrial resources. She is currently working on a range of projects using the environmental DNA (eDNA) technique for biosecurity and conservation purposes. Cecilia is trailing field methods and conducting laboratory experiments testing the persistence and detectability of eDNA of an array of species of conservation and management significance, in freshwater and marine, as well as terrestrial ecosystems. She is working towards engaging non-specialists, including Indigenous ranger groups, for sample collection in remote areas of northern Australia.
