Up next in our list of female scientists for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science is Dr Mafalda Costa.
Based in the School of Biosciences, Dr Costa is a Research Associate for @thefrozenark – a joint initiative that is working to save the DNA and viable cells of the worldʼs endangered species. Dr Costa works specifically for the CryoArks Biobank - the UK’s first national zoological biobank, which offers researchers across the UK access to tissues, cells and DNA from endangered species and other wildlife, which can be used in their research and for conservation planning.
Head along to @cardiffsciencefestival next week to meet Mafalda and @thefrozenark team to find out more about their work.
