PhD (Virology), 2022, University of New South Wales
B Biomedical Science (Hons), 2015, University of Newcastle
I am an early career researcher and virologist based at the Virology Research Laboratory (Prince of Wales Hospital Randwick), University of New South Wales. My areas of expertise include 1) viral detection and diagnostics, 2) genomic surveillance of viral epidemics, and 3) characterization of antibody-mediated immunity to viral infections. I have experience in whole genome sequencing of respiratory viruses (RSV, Influenzavirus and SARS-CoV-2), serological techniques for viral detection and ...
