Hi there, I’m Dan Cossey!
I’m a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, originally from New Zealand, with a broad range of research interests in biology.
Currently, my work centres on the microbiome of freshwater mussels, particularly focusing on die-offs and disease, but I’m also exploring a variety of related side projects.
My research is ever-evolving, driven by curiosity and new ideas that come along.
