Dr Aimee Murray is a Senior Lecturer in Microbiology researching the evolution and ecology of antimicrobial resistance, particularly in the environment. Using interdisciplinary approaches spanning microbiology, ecotoxicology and environmental risk assessment, Aimee's research aims to generate real world impact that protects human health and the environment.
Steven Djordjevic is Distinguished Professor and Theme Leader (Microbial Genomics & proteomics) in the Australian Institute for Microbiology & Infection at the University of Technology Sydney. Professor Djordjevic’s research generates and interrogates genomic and proteomics data to mitigate against AMR, understand pathogen evolution and to identify and 
characterize novel antigens for vaccine development. Professor Djordjevic is a cofounder of Ausgem, the Australian Centre for Genomic Epidemiological Microbiology, a collaborative partnership with the NSW Department of Primary Industries. Phylogenomics and molecular epidemiology are the tools we use to study antibiotic resistance and bacterial pathogenesis and to shed light on how established and emerging pathogenic bacteria and the mobile elements they carry, evolve and circulate in clinical, livestock, agricultural, wastewater and aquatic environments - A One Health/One Planet Approach. His group also has a focus on the molecular, structural and biochemical characterisation of bacterial molecules that function in adherence, colonisation and invasion of eukaryote cells and a strong interest in the roles of protein processing and protein multifunctionality in bacterial pathogenesis.
