Julia joined the Malaria and Infectious Disease Epidemiology group in 2013 as a postdoctoral scientist. Her current research interests include the epidemiology and immunology of malaria, with a particular emphasis on correlates of immunity and susceptibility to malaria. In 2012 she completed her doctorate at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research/University of Melbourne, focussing on the innate immune response and human severe malaria.
Research Interest
As well as her research pursuits, Julia has a keen interest in science communication and community engagement, having been involved in a University of Melbourne Mentoring Program for gifted secondary school students, CSIRO Education’s Scientists in Schools Program, the “Einstein A-Go-Go” science radio program, and teaching at the Gene Technology Access Centre at University High School.
