Sarah Kidd is the Head of the National Mycology Reference Centre at SA Pathology, as well as Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the University of Adelaide. She completed a Bachelor of Medical Science with Honours (1999) and a PhD in Medicine (2003), both at the University of Sydney, and has undertaken postdoctoral training and research at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, and at Monash University–The Alfred Hospital, Melbourne. She is a Fellow of the Australian Society for Microbiology (FASM), Secretary of the Australia and New Zealand Mycoses Interest Group (ANZMIG), convenes the biennial Mycology Masterclass, and provides mycology expertise to the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Quality Assurance Programs.



Gerhard Weldhagen is the supervising pathologist for the National Mycology Reference Centre at SA Pathology. He completed his undergraduate studies in 1993, receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Medicine and Surgery (MBChB) from the University of Pretoria, South Africa. This was followed by a Master’s degree in Clinical Microbiology (MMed (Path) cum laude) and subsequently a PhD in Microbiology, conferred by the University of Pretoria in 2002 and 2005 respectively. After settling in Australia during 2009, a Fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (FRCPA) was attained during the same year. Current interests include the role of molecular assays in diagnostic microbiology, including mycology.
