Biography

Jeremy completed his PhD in microbiology at the University of Queensland in 2011 as part of the Advanced Water Management Center. He then moved to San Diego, USA, to complete a postdoctoral position under the guidance of Professor Forest Rohwer at San Diego State University, where he studied the interactions between bacteriophages and mucosal surfaces to provide non-host-derived immunity. In 2016, he established an independent laboratory at Monash University, focusing on Bacteriophage Biology. In 2020, he joined the Monash Centre for the Impact of Antimicrobial Resistance, where he established research into reverse evolution of antimicrobial resistance using non-drug solutions. His laboratory investigates bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria—and their roles in tri-partite symbioses involving bacteriophages, bacterial hosts, and eukaryotic cells on mucosal surfaces. Bacteriophages play crucial roles in controlling and manipulating bacterial populations and protecting against disease. Jeremy's work is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, emphasizing the importance of his research in addressing global health challenges.
