Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor)
Microbial Metabolomics & Antibiotic Discovery
University of Newcastle, UK
Biosciences Institute, Faculty of Medical Sciences
Kate has spent her career to date understanding marine microbial chemistry, why it is produced and what we can use it for. There's still so much to discover!
Kate is an advocate for inclusivity, diversity, fair representation and equal opportunity in academia. She believes education should be for all.
These aspects are combined in the Duncan lab - we welcome people who are interested in joining the group, please get in touch.
