Matthew obtained his PhD in the field of population genetics from Melbourne Integrative Genomics in 2022. Shortly afterwards, Matthew began his postdoc in Sarah Dunstan’s lab, to study coevolution between humans and the Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogen. Matthew is interested in the evolution of the Mtb genome, and the genetic changes which underpin virulence, transmissibility and drug resistance.
