Julie Hibbert

Julie Hibbert is a Doctor of Philosophy Student and Dr Coordinator at UWA Medical School, The University of Western Australia. She maintains an active research profile with 27 total publications including articles, letters, and her doctoral thesis, and has accumulated 398 citations with an h-index of 12.

Her research focuses on neonatal health, particularly sepsis in preterm infants. Her work spans biomarker discovery, leukocyte analysis, cytokine responses, and microbiome studies in vulnerable newborn populations. She investigates how immune responses to pathogens like Staphylococcus epidermidis can help predict and diagnose late-onset sepsis in preterm infants.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong trend toward integrating multi-omics approaches with machine learning techniques for improved diagnostics in neonatal sepsis. Her work increasingly examines the intersection of microbiome development, immune function, and clinical outcomes in premature infants, with applications for early intervention strategies.

Dr. Hibbert serves as Investigator 02 on the research project 'Neonates, an integrated multi-omics approach for the identification of functional biomarkers for neonatal sepsis diagnosis' funded by Perth Children's Hospital (2019-2021), demonstrating her significant role in substantial research funding.
