Research Biography

Emma joined the Flinders University International Centre for Point-of-Care Testing in 2020. She is currently working as a Research Associate and Project Coordinator on an MRFF-funded project entitled 'Equitable access to full blood evaluation testing at the point-of-care in remote primary health'. This project aims to provide equitable access to timely full blood examination test results and to improve health care and outcomes for patients who present to remote primary care health centres with suspected sepsis.

Emma previously worked as a Scientist and Point-of-Care Coordinator in the Northern Territory and Syphilis Point-of-Care Testing Programs. In these roles, Emma managed and coordinated staff education, training and quality management for networks of point-of-care testing devices located within primary care health services across Australia.

Emma's Honours and PhD research focused on deciphering the biochemical mechanisms by which a plant disease resistance protein is activated to initiate cellular plant disease prevention responses. After completing her PhD, Emma worked in the Plant Nutrition group at Flinders University. This group focused on supporting biofortification plant breeding programs that aimed to increase the concentration of iron and zinc in staple food crops, such as wheat, beans and rice.
