My research program includes projects on antimicrobial resistance and better use of antibiotics in children, infections in immunocompromised children and young people, as well as congenital infections. I am using surveillance data in new ways to better understand and optimize antibiotic therapy.
I am a Paediatric Infectious Diseases Specialist and Microbiologist, working at Sydney Children鈥檚 Hospital, Randwick, and a Senior Research Fellow in听the听Faculty of Medicine and Health, Discipline of Paediatrics, at UNSW.
I am willing to supervise ILP and Honours Students completing the UNSW MD program (formally MBBS), as well as Higher Degree Students (Masters and PhD).听
