Biography:
I graduated in 2011 from Monash University. During my PhD, I developed a new mouse model of atherosclerotic plaque instability that mimics human pathology most closely. This model has been published in the prestigious journal Circulation Research and has been rated the top 10 most downloaded article of the year.
Most recently, I was awarded a Postdoctoral Fellowship by the National Heart Foundation, which included being awarded the Paul Korner award for most innovative research.
