Roshan Patel

​Roshan is a PhD student at the University of Newcastle. His research focuses on developing a consistent cloning model on common Australian frogs that can be applied to the conservation of endangered frogs and the de-extinction of extinct frogs. This includes developing protocols for cell cryopreservation of diploid cells, establishing cell cultures, and producing viable offspring through nuclear transplantation (NT). The common species of frogs he uses are the striped marsh frog (Limnodynastes peronii) and spotted grass frog (Limnodynastes tasmaniensis).
