Dr. Sheeana Gangadoo was awarded her PhD in Microbiology and Agricultural Sciences, where her work focused on the influence of nanoparticles to improve the gut microbiota and overall health of broiler chickens. As a postdoctoral researcher, she focused on the investigation of antimicrobial materials to reduce the spread of antibiotic resistant microbes and was trained on various spectroscopic and microscopy techniques. She was later employed as a microbiologist in collaboration with Australian biotechnology company, Biomebank, and successfully optimised a novel anaerobic bioreactor for the production of probiotics in treating gut diseases.
