Zhetao is a first-year PhD candidate at the Centre for Animal Science. His research focuses on using long-read sequencing to identify pathogens responsible for venereal diseases in Northern beef cattle, a significant cause of economic loss in agriculture. By developing a fast and accurate diagnostic tool for multiple bovine venereal diseases, his project aims to support cattle health and enhance the sustainability of the Australian beef industry.
