Innovative solutions for invasive species management

Applied BioSciences develops practical and innovative solutions for the management of pest species that threaten livestock, horticultural production, the environment, and human health.

We have particular interests in the development of non-chemical management tools such as sterile insect technique, lure-and kill technology, biological pesticides, biological control, and habitat modifications that consider biodiversity preservation and preservation of environmental health.

Applied BioSciences is the home of the ARC Centre for Fruit Fly Biosecurity Innovation.
