Name: Dr. Tiffany Kosch

Position: Snr Research Fellow

Research Description:

Dr Tiffany Kosch is a Research Fellow with One Health Research Group at the University of Melbourne where she is investigating the genetic architecture of resistance to the fungal disease chytridiomycosis in endangered frogs such as the Australian Southern Corroboree Frog. She applies approaches from genomics, quantitative genetics, synthetic biology, and animal breeding to develop methods to increase chytrid resistance in frogs and improve the success of reintroduction programs.

Tiffany is also the Director of the Amphibian Genomics Consortium which aims to bring together people with an interest in amphibian genomics and functional research and increase the generation of amphibian genomics resources.
