Researcher biography

I am an agricultural biotechnologist specialising in applications of nanotechnology to improve animal health. My PhD was a part of a multi-disciplinary research project facilitated by the Queensland Government Research Partnerships at QAAFI. This research, for the first time, established silica nanomaterials as carriers and self-adjuvants for vaccine development and delivery against Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus. As a Research Fellow at QAAFI, I am leading the research using RNA interference technology and material science to develop sustainable solutions for real-world problems like sheep blowfly and lice-infestation.

We are always seeking for motivated Honours and PhD applicants, please get in touch, if that sounds like you!
