Date Time Superstar of STEM’s genetic analysis helps protect koalas On Australia Day, one of Science & Technology Australia’s Superstars of STEM has unveiled a genetic analysis that could help save Australia’s iconic koalas. Superstar of STEM and DNA Zoo Australia Director Associate Professor Parwinder Kaur, from the University of Western Australia’s School of Agriculture and Environment, said the analysis could help better understand how to protect the beloved iconic Australian species. Associate Professor Kaur said genetic analysis would allow researchers for the first time to visualise the koala genome in three dimensions. “This will help us understand koalas’ co-evolution with native eucalyptus species, how to develop stronger vaccines to prevent common diseases in the species and better ways of supporting their disrupted populations due to deadly bushfires,” Associate Professor Kaur said.
