Biography

Since beginning my research career I have applied molecular biology and metagenomics within a broad range of contexts, from bioprospecting and discovery of novel microorganisms in sub-Antarctic and Antarctic environments to investigating microbe-mineral interactions in geological formations, e.g. cave speleothems and desert varnish, and in 2005 I joined CSIRO as a Molecular Biologist investigating genetic controls for invasive fish species. For the past 10 years my research has been focussed in the marine environment, specifically, the use of metagenomics for the study of microbial ecology and it’s utility for ecological monitoring, particularly in our coastal systems, in relation to anthropogenic impacts and determining long-term trends in ocean health.

Current Roles

Marine Microbiome Initiative Facility Leader, Integrated Marine Observing System (2019-)
Managing the processing and archiving of genomics samples from the IMOS National Reference Station network. These samples provide a crucial spatial and temporal scaffold for the understanding of Australian marine microbiology which in turn underpins long term observations on the status and trends of oceanic health, biogeochemistry and primary productivity. In addition, the eDNA represents a valuable resource suitable for genomic interrogation of a diverse range of taxa at multi-trophic levels providing further insights into biodiversity and marine ecosystem processes.
