Research Interests:
Dr. Mosse's work bridges virology and education. Her lab investigates viral mechanisms such as HIV-1 asp regulation and influenza neuraminidase resistance, while her educational initiatives pioneer flexible learning models for remote students. Recent studies include:
- Cellular responses to vaccine adjuvants
- Koala population genomics via faecal DNA
- Antiviral drug resistance dynamics in ferret models
Awards & Grants:
No specific awards listed, but active in securing competitive grants for projects like the Gippsland Access initiative and koala conservation genetics research.
Advisory & Outreach:
Supervises multiple PhD/Masters students in virology, immunology, and wildlife genetics. Leads STEM outreach programs to engage rural youth, including the Science in Schools initiative evaluated for equity impact.
Labs & Collaborations:
