Abstract

Dr. Tiffany A. Kosch, a senior research fellow at the University of Melbourne, is dedicated to saving amphibians, particularly focusing on developing genetic solutions to combat threats like chytridiomycosis. Her work involves collaborating with various organizations to implement Targeted Genetic Intervention (TGI) in Australian frogs, with a focus on southern corroboree frogs. Dr. Kosch's research aims to understand the genetic basis of chytrid resistance and develop strategies to restore amphibians to the wild, addressing challenges such as funding and novel conservation approaches. She recommends citizen science participation and joining environmental groups to contribute to frog research and conservation efforts. [Extracted from the article]
