Biography

Anita is a microbiological scientist and infectious disease epidemiologist specializing in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and infection prevention control. Currently, she is focused on describing the AMR landscape in children across Australia, publishing pediatric-specific reports for the Australian government through the Australian Group Antimicrobial Resistance national surveillance system. Anita investigates the cost burden of AMR in children and studies transmission dynamics of common pediatric infections such as Respiratory Syncytial Virus and influenza in households. Previously, she led programs for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) that investigated the impacts of AMR in low-resource, conflict-affected settings. In her career, she has published several studies on the epidemiology of AMR, mentored individuals through the MSF/WHO SORT-IT course, and supervised Master's students while collaborating with national governments to address the global impact of AMR. Her expertise is closely related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, specifically in education and health.
