University of Canberra associate professor of genetics Janine Deakin has been added to the Australian Research Council’s (ARC) College of Experts.
Dr Deakin has been recognised for her work investigating the Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumour Disease, and for her project examining the possible speciation of rock wallabies in northern Australia.
Dr Deakin works with the University’s Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE) and last year received more than $400,000 for an ARC Discovery Project grant for her work with rock wallabies.
