Profile

Alice Michie was a PhD Candidate at the University of Western Australia, within the School of Biomedical Sciences.

Alice completed her PhD and is a Postdoctoral Scientist at at Virology Research Lab, UNSW and at NSW Health Pathology (updated May 2023).

Alice’s project aims to phylogenetically characterise the mosquito-borne alphaviruses endemic to Western Australia, with a focus on Ross River virus, using next-generation sequencing. The significance of any observed genetic variability, in terms of virulence and human health, will then be investigated.
