Matthew Lee A and Mike Manefield A *A UNSW Water Research Centre, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UNSW, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Matt Lee initially had a lengthy career as an analytical chemist working in the areas of environmental, agricultural and forensic chemistry. Matt obtained a PhD in plant biochemistry from the University of Western Australia (2007). Following the completion of his PhD, his research direction changed to anaerobic microbiology at UNSW. Here Matt has been studying anaerobes that use toxic organohalides as their respiratory electron acceptor thus making them less toxic. These microorganisms are crucial for the remediation of organohalide-contaminated environments. |
