    Biography

    Alanna Sorenson is a scientist and senior lecturer within the Department of Biomedical Sciences and Molecular Biology in the College of Public Health, Medical and Veterinary Sciences, James Cook University. Alanna completed her undergraduate degree at James Cook University in 2005, followed by Honours in 2006 and PhD in 2011. Dr Sorenson has experience in a wide variety of techniques including molecular biology, cloning, protein expression and purification, PCR, enzyme immunoassays and methods for immunohistochemical staining of human and animal tissue. Her primary research focuses on the development and application of novel techniques such as differential scanning fluorimetry of GFP-tagged proteins, immuno-PCR and other protein-based biosensors. She is interested in a wide range of protein-based targets from pathogenic bacteria and viruses for the purposes of characterisation, diagnostic development and high-throughput drug discovery.
