Other aDNA labs
The following is a list of labs (ancient DNA and related disciplines) that our lab has ongoing collaborations with:
Ancient Biomolecules Centre, Oxford University, Oxford, UK.
Dr Ian Barnes ancient DNA lab, Royal Holloway, University of London
Other collaborating laboratories
Wildlife identification lab, Murdoch University. (Dr. Peter Spencer)
Paleocol Research Ltd. (Prof Richard Holdaway)
Museums
Museums play a key roll in the research activities of most ancient DNA research labs. Most people who attend museums are unaware that what they see on display is only a tiny fraction of the material in the museum collection. Maintaining these collections for scientific research is both costly and time consuming. Below is a list of links to museums/curators that our lab is indebted to for assistance with current or past research projects:
Australia:
Western Australian Museum (Dr Ric How, Alex Baynes)
New Zealand:
Te Papa (Trevor Worthy, Alan Tennyson)
Canterbury Museum (Dr Paul Scofield)
Otago Museum (Sue Heath)
Auckland Museum (Dr Brian Gill)
United Kingdom:
Natural History Muesum (Dr Sandra Chapman)
Natural History Museum, Bird collections, Tring (Dr Robert Prys-Jones, Dr Jo Cooper and Mark Adams).
Oxford Natural History Museum (Malgosia Nowak-Kemp)
Granting bodies
The lab is grateful to the following institutions/agencies for financial assistance with the labs research program:
Australian Research Council (Discover Grant DP0771971)
Murdoch University (Early Career Research Grants)
Conservation and Land Management - Western Australia (CALM)
Marsden Fund, Royal Society, New Zealand
