Jo Howard-McCombe

(She/her)

I am a researcher at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, working on a range of conservation genetics projects to support wildlife conservation. I am interested in the application of statistical genetic methods to the conservation of wild populations.

I completed her PhD at the University of Bristol in 2022. My PhD project used genomic methods to understand hybridisation and introgression in the Scottish wildcat population.
