Dr Stefano Giulieri is a clinician researcher with a special interest in staphylococcal genomics and orthopaedic infections. He is passionate about using evolutionary biology, statistical genomics and machine learning approaches to answer clinical questions in infectious diseases. He is particularly interested in how bacteria like the hospital superbug Staphylococcus aureus, evolve within patients during severe infections to evade both antibiotics and immune responses. He is an Infectious Diseases Physician at the Royal Melbourne Hospital where he has a clinic specialised in orthopaedics infections. Before moving to Melbourne, he was the Head of the Infectious Diseases Consultation in the Orthopaedics Department at the Lausanne University Hospital, Switzerland.

Howden Group
Research from Professor Ben Howden’s group research uses genomics, molecular biology, epidemiology and clinical studies to address a broad range of issues related to invasive bacterial diseases in humans, especially those caused by staphylococci, enterococci and other antimicrobial-resistant species. Additionally, working closely with scientists in the MDU PHL, they investigate the epidemiology, evolution, and spread of bacterial pathogens of public health significance such as Neisseria gonorrhoea, Listeria monocytogenes, Shigella and Salmonella spp., Legionella spp., and carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacteria.
