Biography

Prior to joining the ANU in 2011, I worked for over twenty years in State, Territory and federal health departments in the areas of food, water and infectious diseases. Previously, I have run the Australian Field Epidemiology Training Program - the Master of Philosophy in Applied Epidemiology (MAE) program - and the Australian network for foodborne disease investigation - OzFoodNet. I consult for Australian government, the World Health Organization and other international agencies. I hold research grants with the National Health & Medical Research Council, and the Australian Research Council. I am the Associate Dean (Education) in the ANU College of Health and Medicine.

Qualifications

BAppSci (WIAE), MAppEpid (ANU), PhD (ANU)

Research Interests

I conduct research into infectious diseases and environmental health threats. I have estimated the burden of foodborne disease in Australia and globally. I have examined risk factors for a range of infections, such as COVID-19, influenza, salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis, listeriosis and Shiga Toxin producing E. coli. I assist health agencies respond to outbreaks of disease, building on my experience with a wide range of disease outbreaks, such as those caused by infectious agents, such as Legionella, Vibrio cholerae, intestinal trematodes, Salmonella, Shigella, and Campylobacter. This has lead to national collaborative research incorporating whole genome sequencing for public health surveillance. My goal is to improve how government agencies respond to human health threats.
