معرفی
Dr. Carola Venturini is a Lecturer at the Sydney School of Veterinary Science, University of Sydney. Her research focuses on microbiology, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and bacteriophage therapy with a One Health perspective. She holds a BSc (Hons) from the University of Trieste and a PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Wollongong. Her work investigates mobile genetic elements in bacterial pathogens and explores bacteriophage applications in animal and human health.
Education:
- BSc (Hons) in Natural Sciences, University of Trieste
- PhD in Molecular Biology, University of Wollongong
Research interests include:
- Evolution of drug-resistant pathogens
- Horizontal gene transfer mechanisms
- Bacteriophage-based interventions
- Microbiome ecology and antibiotic impacts
Recent work highlights bacteriophage translocation in human colonoids, Vibrio harveyi pathogenesis in fish, and MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae clonal spread. Her studies bridge animal, human, and environmental health sectors.
Grants include projects on phage formulations for animal infections, AMR surveillance in India, and collaborations with institutions in Germany, UK, USA, and Italy.
Labs/Teams: Collaborates with the Westmead Institute for Medical Research and maintains international partnerships through the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre and Charles Perkins Centre.
