Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$476,728.00
Summary
During this Fellowship I will examine how to prevent foodborne diseases and how public health agencies respond to contaminated environments. To do this, I will harness the revolution in public health from genetic analysis of pathogens and the use of linked datasets to examine environmental health concerns.
Systems For Control And Tracking Of Infectious Diseases In A Globalised World
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$401,361.00
Summary
Infectious disease informatics now at the forefront of translational research due to the recent rapid growth of microbial genomics, significant advances in molecular diagnostics and increasing demands for real-time biosurveillance. This program of multidisciplinary research will redefine existing paradigms, develop novel systems for surveillance of biothreats and offer new insights into transmission dynamics of pathogens with epidemic potential in Australia.
