Fiona is researcher studying pathogenic free-living amoebae in different environments and as infectious agents. Her work focuses on the development of new treatments and prevention measures for human and animal health (aquaculture) primarily against pathogenic free-living amoebae, understanding how amoebae can be vectors for bacteria and other infectious microbes, and their role in the emergence of antimicrobial resistance and microbial ecosystems. In this work she has gained experience working across sectors, and knowledge of the decision-making processes and communication channels in health economies, stakeholder mapping and environmental management.
