Jeremy completed his PhD in microbiology at The University of Queensland in 2011. He then moved to San Diego, USA to complete a postdoctoral position with Prof. Forest Rohwer at San Diego State University. While there he studied the interactions of bacteriophage with mucosal surfaces and was involved in a word-first phage therapy case treating a patient with disseminated, multidrug-resistant infection. In 2016, he joined Monash University's School of Biological Sciences where he is currently a Senior Lecturer and Group Leader. His research group studies bacteriophages and their tripartite interactions with their bacterial hosts and the human body. In 2020, he became a member of the Centre to Impact Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) where he leads translational phage therapy work.
