Biography

Auriol Purdie holds BSc (Molecular Genetics) from Kings College, London, MSc DipLSHTM in Immunology and Infection Disease from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and a Doctorate of Medicine and Therapeutics from the University of Aberdeen. She has completed Postdoctoral Fellowships at the Roslin Institute, focusing her research on the pathogenesis of bovine spongiform encephalopathy. In 2009, she joined the University of Sydney's School of Veterinary Science, where she has employed immunogenomic techniques to analyze infectious disease mechanisms, particularly related to endemic diseases affecting Australian livestock such as Johne’s disease. Her extensive research includes the use of transcriptomic and proteomic techniques to understand host-pathogen interactions at pre-clinical disease stages. Additionally, Auriol's work extends to the exploration of immune fitness as a measure of animal health and welfare, linking soil health with livestock health. She has supervised numerous research projects and is active in STEM mentorship, contributing to educational initiatives for increasing diversity among students in scientific fields.
