Biography
Dr Sarah Londrigan completed her Bachelor of Science (Honours) and PhD research at the University of Melbourne in 2002, where she identified novel cell surface receptors for rotavirus entry during infection of host cells. Sarah’s postdoctoral research from 2002 to 2008 at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) involved creating immunomodulatory adenoviruses that generated local immunosuppression during islet transplantation to treat Type I diabetes. In 2008, Sarah returned to the University of Melbourne as a Senior Research Officer in Professor Andrew Brooks and Associate Professor Patrick Reading’s laboratory. Current projects involve understanding the entry pathways of influenza virus into host cells, and how airway immune cells can control influenza virus replication.
