Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmily Humble is a conservation genomics researcher with 11 years’ experience combining population and evolutionary genetics to inform wildlife conservation and forensics. Based in Edinburgh, she is a Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh and a long-standing Genetics Project Leader with the Manta Trust, developing genetic tools for fisheries monitoring and law enforcement. Her PhD work at Bielefeld and the British Antarctic Survey investigates heterozygosity and fitness in Antarctic fur seals, linking genomic variation to fitness in wild marine populations. Skilled in R and biodiversity informatics from an MRes at Imperial College, she brings a rare blend of field-focused conservation projects and computational genetics. Emily’s background in comparative transcriptomics of lamnid sharks and global manta ray genetics highlights a consistent focus on charismatic marine megafauna and applied genetic solutions.
