The eDNA for Global Environment Studies program (eDGES) focuses on developing and applying environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques to address challenges related to biodiversity loss and sustainability in our changing world.

Through our scientific achievements we seek to understand ecological and evolutionary changes in natural and artificial landscapes, to develop new-generation tools for identifying and managing species, and foster biodiversity conservation through whole community studies afforded to us by eDNA.

Beyond the research, our goal is to translate this knowledge into outcomes for society that will ultimately enhance our collective wellbeing.
