Laurence DW Luu
Dr Laurence Luu is a Scientia Lecturer and NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow at UNSW. He leads the Bacterial Colonisation Factor lab which uses multi-omics (transcriptomic, proteomic and functional genomics/metagenomic etc.) and molecular biology techniques to understand how different bacterial pathogens cause disease. His research focuses on two bacteria: Bordetella pertussis, which causes whooping cough - a re-emerging vaccine preventable disease that is most serious in babies, and Chlamydia trachomatis, one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted pathogens and a leading cause of infertility in females.
