Dr Tatiana Proboste

I am a PhD candidate in the School of Veterinary Science at The University of Queensland. I am a veterinarian graduate of The Austral University, Chile, and hold a Masters degree from Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) in terrestrial ecology and biodiversity management. My current research focuses on investigating the role of wildlife in disease transmission in modified environments using novel genetic analysis. My thesis is supervised by Professor Jenny Seddon, Dr Hawthorne Beyer, Dr Nick Clark and Associate Professor Jonathan Rhodes.
