Qualifications

  • Doctor of Philosophy, La Trobe University

Research interests

  • Metagenomics and the Microbiome

    Since my PhD I have been interested in the microbiome and it's links to host variation. Using it in a predictive way to help agriculture become more environmentally friendly while increasing our ability to feed the world means that we can have our beef, and eat it too.

  • The mammalian genome and its genes

    New technology is allowing us to look at things that were invisible just a few years before. Applying new technology to understand similarities and differences between individual genomes allows us to look at aspects of the genome and its genes at a scale never before possible.
