Dr Nguyen Thi Khanh Nhu is a postdoctoral researcher in the IMB Centre for Superbug Solutions at The University of Queensland (UQ). She attained her BSc (Biotechnology) and MSc (Microbiology) at the University of Natural Sciences, Vietnam, and then worked as a research assistant at the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam, where she investigated molecular mechanisms of virulence and antibiotic resistance in a range of enteric pathogens. Dr Nhu completed her PhD on uropathogenic E. coli at UQ and now applies genomic and molecular methods to understand how uropathogenic E. coli cause human infection.

Chitra Ravi is a PhD student in the School of Chemistry & Molecular Biosciences, and the IMB Centre for Superbug Solutions, at The University of Queensland (UQ). She attained a Diploma (Molecular Biotechnology) at Nanyang Polytechnic, Singapore, and her BSc(Hons) (Microbiology) at UQ. Her PhD research investigates the regulation and molecular mechanisms of cellulose biosynthesis in uropathogenic E. coli, and the role of cellulose as a key component of the extracellular matrix in uropathogenic E. coli biofilms.

Prof. Mark Schembri is the Director of the IMB Centre for Superbug Solutions at The University of Queensland. His expertise lies in molecular microbiology and bacterial pathogenesis, and he investigates how antibiotic resistant uropathogenic E. coli cause urinary tract and bloodstream infections, diseases of major significance to human health.
