Professor Mona Bafadhel is the current Kemp Post-doctoral Fellow in the Medical Sciences at Lincoln
College at the University of Oxford and an NIHR Post-doctoral Fellow. She is a clinical researcher,
working in the Nuffield Department of Medicine, an Associate Professor in Respiratory Medicine at
the University of Oxford and an Honorary Respiratory Consultant Physician at the Oxford University
Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. She graduated from the University of Birmingham and undertook
her junior medical training at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital and The Royal Brompton Hospital. Her
interests in respiratory medicine led to specialist training in the Oxford deanery and subsequently
gaining a PhD at the University of Leicester studying biomarkers in exacerbations of chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Professor Bafadhel research interests are in the field of airways disease, particularly the investigation
of the mechanisms aligned to using phenotypes of exacerbations of COPD. This has led to studying the
role of the eosinophil in COPD, using statistical approaches to define particular sub-groups and to the
delivery of therapeutic strategies to patients, working across the translational spectrum.

Oliver Rackham gained his PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Otago, New Zealand. In 2003 Oliver relocated to the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, UK, as an MRC Career Development Fellow, working with Professor Jason Chin on re-engineering the genetic code. Oliver established his own group at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research in 2006, focused on engineering and understanding gene expression. Oliver’s research has been influential in shaping the field of synthetic biology and in exploring the role of RNA in controlling mitochondrial function and organism physiology. His work focuses on developing new tools and therapeutics to target cancer, mitochondrial diseases and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and has been described as one of the “seminal achievements for synthetic biology” (Faculty of 1000) and resulted in his admission to the European Inventor Hall of Fame in 2013. Oliver joined Curtin University in March this year and is currently an NHMRC Senior Research Fellow and President of Synthetic Biology Australasia.
The burgeoning new field of synthetic biology focuses on programming molecules and cells with new and improved functions. This presentation will detail three aspects of my research program: (1) understanding the mechanisms of post-transcriptional gene expression, (2) creating new tools to manipulate gene expression, and (3) building artificial genetic circuits to study antimicrobial resistance. Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression is ubiquitous and fundamental for the control of cell growth, differentiation and the complex developmental programs of multicellular eukaryotes. This presentation focuses on RNA-binding proteins that play key roles in mitochondrial gene expression. We have used mouse models and next generation sequencing approaches to reveal the mechanisms by which mitochondrial gene expression is regulated. Furthermore, in recent work we have created synthetic proteins inspired by natural RNA-binding proteins that can bind any RNA sequence of interest and modulate its function. These will be important to elucidate the mechanisms by which genes are controlled at the RNA level and for new therapeutic approaches. In other work we have developed a variety of genetic selection systems that allow the re-engineering of macromolecules via life/death selections in yeast and we have applied these systems to enable the determinants of antibiotic resistance to be systematically mapped. We are now adapting these approaches to harnessing the tremendous potential of synthetic biology to build yeast that can make valuable new antibiotics.

Prof Linda J. Richards, PhD, FAA, FAHMS
Short biography Linda J. Richards, PhD, FAA, FAHMS is a Professor of Neuroscience and Deputy Director (Research) of the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) at The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia. She is a Fellow of both the Australian Academy of Science and the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences and is a National Health and Medical Research Council Principal Research Fellow. She is Past President of the Australasian Neuroscience Society and Co-chair and spokesperson of the Australian Brain Alliance, as well as a member of the International Brain Initiative and Spokesperson for its Initial Strategy Committee.
Professor Richards is head of the brain development and developmental disorders laboratory at QBI. Her laboratory team strives to understand how the brain forms during development and how these processes are disrupted causing human developmental brain disorders and brain cancer. Professor Richards is a leading expert on the formation of the corpus callosum and is scientific advisor and patron for Australian Disorders of the Corpus Callosum (AusDoCC).
In 2015 Professor Richards co-founded an International Consortium for the Corpus Callosum and Cerebral Connectivity (IRC5) with colleagues from Melbourne, San Francisco, France and Brazil. The Consortium brings together clinicians and scientists working to identify the causes of developmental brain disorders and how best to provide support and care for affected individuals and their families.
Professor Richards has received a number of awards and fellowships throughout her career including the Charles Judson Herrick Award from the American Association of Anatomists in 2004 and the Nina Kondelos award from the Australasian Neuroscience Society in 2010.

Professor Debra AndersonProfessor Debra Anderson is the Director and Founder of the Women’s Wellness Research Program. She is located at the Menzies Health Institute, Griffith University. She has a PhD in Social and Preventive Medicine and over twenty-five years’ experience in education and research. She has an extensive record of providing leadership in major administrative, research and managerial roles in the area of global women’s health.
Professor Anderson has forged innovative solutions to promote the health of women and girls, partnering with them to manage symptoms of health-related conditions and improving their quality of life across the lifespan. Her research focuses on understanding the basis and effects of risk behaviours in women and the interventions to change them; focusing on wellness and healthy behaviours.
Our keynote speakers
Associate Professor Susan SlatyerAssociate Professor Susan Slatyer is a nurse researcher and educator in the Discipline of Nursing, College of Science, Health, Engineering and Education (SHEE) at Murdoch University and holds adjunct positions at both Curtin and Edith Cowan Universities.Susan has two main research areas: nurse wellbeing and aged care (especially in relation to dementia and family caregivers). She has been instrumental in trialling interventions to support nurses at the point of transition into a ward leadership role; to prevent compassion fatigue in acute care nurses; and to sustain cancer nurses’ physical and emotional capacity to care. She is currently an investigator on an NHMRC funded trial being conducted at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital to evaluate an innovative post-discharge nursing intervention designed to sustain family members of older patients in home-based caregiving. In 2016, Susan was named WA Nurse of the Year and winner of the Excellence in Research award in the WA Nursing and Midwifery Excellence Awards.
