Biography
Jeff is a generalist microbiologist with an interest in tropical infection disease. When, many years ago from his safe and secure life in Sydney, he asked a wise mentor how he could be involved in work in PNG the answer was: seek it out. So he did, and his subsequent work in rural PNG focused his professional and personal life in many ways.
He leads the Public Health and Environmental Microbiology research group within the discipline of Microbiology and Immunology and heads up a number of research projects including those centred on the biogeography/ecology of melioidosis, molecular epidemiology and rural laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis, and the pathophysiology and epidemiology of the enigmatic, sago haemolytic disease.
Above all Jeff enjoys working with students, colleagues and collaborators in work that is intriguing, rewarding and relevant to the tropics.
