    • About Anna

     

    I started working with the Thurecht group as a summer research scholar at the end of my undergraduate degree which then carried on to complete my honours year with the group. I have since continued with the group commencing my PhD late in 2014. I love that our group has such a collaborative and supportive environment where everyone is willing to help each other out. In my spare time I enjoy riding all over Brisbane with my bike, visiting markets and trying new foods.
