Dr Alice Michie is a Postdoctoral Scientist at the Virology Research Laboratory, within Prince of Wales Hospital. She holds a Bachelor of Science (2014) and a Master of Infectious Diseases with Distinction (2016) from the University of Western Australia, where she also completed her PhD in 2021. Her doctoral research focused on the genomic and phylogenetic characterisation of key Australian mosquito-borne viruses, in a landscape of limited genomic data availability.
At the VRL, Dr Michie has established a wastewater-based genomic surveillance protocol of SARS-CoV-2 from NSW sentinel sites, with regular reporting of lineage fluctuations to the NSW Ministry of Health. She has recently joined the Kirby Institute as part of the MRFF-funded H2Seq project, which aims to develop hepatitis C virus and HIV whole genome sequencing protocols to expand access and sharing of genomic data for cluster identification.
Dr Michie's research interests include wastewater-based epidemiology, arthropod-borne viruses, One Health, viral genomics and metagenomic approaches.
