An NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow at the University of Western Australia in the field of microbiology within the context of women's and infants' health. Currently assessing phage interactions and therapeutic potential in the perinatal period. Previous research has involved characterising Streptococcus agalactiae in pregnant women and how to improve management and distribution of antibiotics to this vulnerable population, in addition to targeted alternative therapeutic options such as phage therapy. Enthusiastic about microbiology, in particular phage biology and clinical translation of research to provide better treatment outcomes for the public.
