  Monash University

  Jan 2010 - Apr 2024

  I am now working in the Structural Biology Microbiology Laboratory in the Department of Microbiology at Monash University. My work largely relates to the structure and function of enzymes, including those from parasites and bacteria, with a large emphasis on targeted drug design and analysis. After completing my PhD, I began my postdoc with Prof. Lithgow in the Department of Biochemistry at Monash University. Here I was awarded a 4 year NHMRC Peter Doherty Postdoctoral Research Fellowship where I developed expertise in understanding protein translocation in gram-negative bacteria. I used biochemical techniques to study structure and function, concentrating on membrane bound protein complexes and machinery involved in cell survival and virulence.
