From there, she moved to the US for a postdoctoral appointment jointly between the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Military HIV Research Program, focused on assessing the efficacy of HIV cure and vaccine strategies in non-human primate models. In 2024 she returned to Melbourne to take a position as a Research Officer in Sharon Lewin's lab, where she is investigating the immunological impacts of novel HIV cure interventions in clinical trials.

Lewin Group
The focus of the Lewin group is to understand why HIV infection persists on antiretroviral therapy and to develop new strategies to eliminate latency. The lab also researches factors that drive liver disease in HIV-hepatitis B virus co-infection. The lab is also actively involved in COVID in relation to pathogenesis, the use of primary tissue models, and developing therapeutics using gene editing strategies.
