Three early career researchers from the Centre to Impact AMR were awarded prestigious DECRA Fellowships to pursue their microbiological projects. Dr Meiling Han, Dr Rachael Lappan and Dr Chris Stubenrauch have received in excess of $400 000 each to undertake their research for the next three years, contributing to Australia (and the world’s) knowledge of bacteria and microbial biology. The Australian Government funded a total of 200 promising early career researchers for their projects commencing in 2023.

At the announcement of the $85 million in funding results Australian Research Council (ARC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ms Judi Zielke PSM, said “The DECRA scheme allows researchers in the early stages of their career to develop and apply their research skills, on projects that benefit Australians. The projects also give these researchers the opportunity to collaborate and build connections that will help them progress through a career in research.”
