Linda is a biostatistician who was employed at the Menzies School of Research from 2004 until 2023, when she commenced a PhD and
relocated to Queensland. Having work worked as a software developer for several years prior to joining Menzies, one of Linda’s first
projects at Menzies was the development of a database to manage the B. pseudomallei isolates collected as part of the Darwin Prospective
Melioidosis Study, and other studies of B. pseudomallei. Linda has co-authored more than 30 papers on melioidosis and B. pseudomallei.
Her PhD will assess the extent to which B. pseudomallei Multi Locus Sequence Types (MLST) submitted to Public databases for molecular
typing and microbial genome diversity (PubMLST) can be used to attribute B. pseudomallei geographic origin; assess whether there are
any associations between MLST sequence types and clinical presentations of melioidosis; perform a targeted phylogenetic analysis of a B.
pseudomallei MLST sequence type that has recently emerged and expanded in urban Darwin; and quantify the relationships between
melioidosis incidence and weather events and environmental disturbances in the Top End of the Northern Territory.
