Taylor McDaniels
Taylor McDaniels graduated with a Bachelor of Science from the University of Melbourne with a major in Infection and Immunity (2018-2020). She is currently doing a Master in Biomedical Science where she is partaking in a research project in the Scott Lab. Taylor’s work focuses on O-linked glycosylation in Burkholderia cenocepacia. Her goal is to develop a greater understanding of O-link glycan intermediate toxicity in Burkholderia using phenotypic assays, proteomics and molecular biology techniques. BSc, The University of Melbourne (2018-2020) Master in Biomedical Research, The University of Melbourne (2021-2022 ) (tmcdaniels@student.unimelb.edu.au) |
Michael Bacus
Michael Bacus graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of the Philippines Mindanao. His undergraduate thesis focused on understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics and risk factors of rotavirus A circulation in backyard pig farms using molecular tools and regression models. In 2019, Michael started working at the newly established Philippine Genome Center (PGC) Mindanao as a University Research Associate and his research work sought to understand the spread and evolution of several viral pathogens (RABV, Bat Betacoronaviruses, SARS-CoV2, ASFV) using genomics and phylogenetic tools. Michael is also part of the Interdisciplinary Applied Modelling, Data Analytics and Bioinformatics for Decision Support Systems in Health (AMDABiDSS-Health) program of the University of the Philippines Mindanao. He is currently involved in vulnerability assessment studies for emerging infectious diseases and betacoronavirus surveillance in animal reservoirs. Currently, Michael is pursuing a Master of Philosophy in Biomedical Science (by research) within the Scott Lab. Michael's work will focus on the host proteome changes induced by Burkholderia cenocepacia infection using proteomic techniques.
