Having worked at the Natural History Museum's Department of Entomology for around 10 years, Amoret has studied various groups of insects, including hoverflies, parasitic wasps and fleas.  She is author of the Handbook of British Fleas, soon to be published by the Royal Entomological Society.

Amoret has now swapped parasites of live animals for those living on dead and decaying ones, and is undertaking a PhD in Forensic Entomology.  This mainly involves insect succession studies on stillborn piglets and laboratory studies breeding fly larvae, but has also involved field work in Knoxville, Tennessee in the US to study the decomposition of human donor bodies and the associated insect fauna.

In addition she regularly gives talks to the public and biology students, and has even been involved in training FBI agents in forensic entomology techniques.  She also works as a consultant to UK police forces, attending crime scenes, analysing insect evidence and producing reports.

Amoret took part in Death@Dana at the Dana Centre in November 2006
