Biography
Steven P. Djordjevic is Professor of Infectious Diseases in the ithree Institute at the University of Technology, Sydney. He research focus is bacterial pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance. His primary interests are in the interactions of molecules secreted onto the cell surface and how they interact with host cell receptors. Molecules playing important roles in attachment, colonisation and invasion of host cells and their downstream effects are key areas. His interests extend to antibiotic resistance, how it evolves and disseminates on mobile elements (plasmids and genomic islands), among complex microbial communities and between human and agricultural reservoirs.
