Biography

Located on the UWA Crawley Campus in the Bayliss Building, Minderoo OceanOmics Centre at UWA is a world-class facility dedicated to using groundbreaking genomics-based research to characterise marine biodiversity. Focusing on Australia’s native marine vertebrates and regional marine ecosystems, we integrate advanced genomics infrastructure, specialist expertise, and strong collaborative networks to generate large-scale Environmental DNA (eDNA) and whole-genome sequencing datasets. Our work establishes a genomics-enabled foundation for biodiversity discovery, ecological understanding, informed conservation-management and the development of innovative biomonitoring solutions. OceanOmics Centre staff work closely alongside research and teaching staff from various UWA academic schools and the Oceans Institute.

Dr Shannon Corrigan is an empirical biologist that uses modern genomics approaches to pursue broad research interests that include the evolutionary biology, ecology, and conservation of marine vertebrates, particularly chondrichthyans (cartilaginous fishes: sharks, rays, chimaeras). Current research activities include leading the OceanOmics Centre team to develop eDNA as a scalable biomonitoring tool and generating high-quality reference genome resources for marine vertebrates.
