Biography:
Lidia del Pozo-Ramos is a PhD candidate at the Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine, James Cook University, Australia. Her interests include microbiology, immunology, and infectious disease epidemiology. Her research focuses on host-pathogen interactions in tuberculosis, with a particular interest in molecular biology, vaccine development, and translational models of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Lidia’s work involves using genetically modified strains and allelic exchange systems to investigate immune responses in preclinical models. She is passionate about improving healthcare outcomes for Far North Queensland and neighbouring regions through targeted infectious disease research.
