Eve was awarded her PhD in molecular microbiology from the University of Cambridge in 2018. Her PhD research harnessed transcriptomic and proteomic approaches to investigate the regulation of biofilm formation and virulence in the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In 2019, Eve joined the McDevitt group at the University of Melbourne as a post-doctoral researcher, investigating the homeostasis of essential metal ions in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the role that metals play in bacterial pathogenesis.

  • Key Achievements
    • Eve is an early career researcher and has established new projects at the University of Melbourne understanding how bacterial pathogens, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, interact with inorganic chemical elements. Her achievements in this space are highlighted by multiple, peer-reviewed publications in leading journals in the field of microbiology and biological chemistry. Throughout her PhD and post-doctoral career, Eve has presented at numerous national and international conferences and has been granted travel grants and small research grants, including two from the Medical Research Council.

    • McDevitt Group

      The McDevitt groups research investigates the interaction of pathogenic bacteria, e.g. Streptococcus pneumoniae, with the host environment with a particular focus on the role of metal ions. To understand the chemical biology of these interactions, we use state-of-the-art microbiology, biochemical and biophysical approaches.
