This project aspires to develop methods for collecting, culturing and cryopreserving cells from wildlife in line with museum industry practice. The project expects to generate new knowledge about the collection of live cells from animals under field conditions and their long-term maintenance in museum collections. Expected outcomes of the project include enhanced capacity of museums to build live cell collections and to support and collaborate with cellular biologists. Growth of live cell collections in Australian museums will fuel innovation in cellular technologies, advance fundamental biological knowledge, and shift museums from the role of documenting losses of genetic variation to preserving that genetic variation in living form.

该项目旨在开发符合博物馆行业实践的野生动物细胞收集、培养和冷冻保存方法。该项目希望产生关于在野外条件下从动物身上收集活细胞以及在博物馆收藏中长期保存的新知识。该项目的预期成果包括提高博物馆收集活细胞的能力，支持细胞生物学家并与他们合作。澳大利亚博物馆活细胞收藏的增长将推动细胞技术的创新，推进基础生物学知识，并将博物馆的角色从记录遗传变异的损失转变为保存生物形式的遗传变异。
