I am the Head of the National Mycology Reference Centre at SA Pathology and an adjunct Associate Professor at Adelaide University, Adelaide, Australia. I completed my BMedSc Hons (2000) and PhD in Medicine (2004) at The University of Sydney, and held postdoctoral positions at The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, and Monash University at The Alfred Hospital, Melbourne. I am a Fellow of the Australian Society for Microbiology and the European Confederation of Medical Mycology.
I am the Mycology advisor for the RCPA QAP Microbiology committee, and have convened the Mycology Masterclass since 2013. I am currently a Co-Chair of the Australia and New Zealand Mycoses Interest group (ANZMIG) and served as Secretary of this group from 2011 - 2023.
My research interests include investigating the global molecular epidemiology of pathogenic fungi; emerging antifungal resistance; and improving diagnostic testing of fungal infections.
