PhD student in the Grinter Lab @MonashUni researching how bacteria extract energy from air
Melbourne, Victoria
Joined February 2017
Excited to share our new preprint investigating how bacteria consume carbon monoxide from the air! Really proud to have worked on this with my friend @Gillett_DG during our PhDs with @Rhys__G and @greeninglab leading the project. https://t.co/GmnXOQ2IY2

In @Nature today (open access), we report the structural and mechanistic basis of how bacteria harvest energy from air. We reveal a novel enzyme, Huc, consumes atmospheric levels of hydrogen gas and transfers the derived electrons for aerobic respiration.

Myself and @Ashleigh_Kropp are very excited to be mentoring for Regional Girls Innovation Challenge. Showing them the power of #sciencevisualisation. @WISparkville @brainstemorg
#womeninscience #EmpowerHER
Great to be working with @brainstemorg and STEM Sisters to connect scientist mentors from the Parkville Precinct with female students from schools Gippsland. A future generation of scientists who will be solving problems we don't even know exist yet! #EmpowerHER

Incredible research by an amazing researcher (and pretty great friend) @_drkatemc_ #powerhouseofthecell
Check out the most recent story from @KileBenjamin @_drkatemc_ and team, published yesterday in Science. BAK/BAX macropores facilitate mitochondrial herniation and mtDNA efflux during apoptosis https://t.co/lcuYYAfRcO
