Assoc. Prof. David Whiley is a principal research fellow at The University of Queensland, Centre for Clinical Research (UQCCR) and a research scientist at Pathology Queensland and Public and Environmental Health Reference Laboratories. His research focuses on rapid detection of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) with a particular interest in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, including enhancing N. gonorrhoeae resistance surveillance and treatment.
