Sara Mahdizadeh
Dr Sara Klose (nee Mahdizadeh) is a veterinarian who worked as a public health officer before completing a PhD in veterinary microbiology from the University of Melbourne in 2019. For her PhD, she developed a novel CRISPR technique for genome engineering of mycoplasmas and studied their gene function using metabolomics focused on Mycoplasma gallisepticum and M. bovis. She worked as a Research Assistant in 2019 at Asia Pacific Centre of Animal Health (APCAH) to support the M. bovis eradication programme by the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries. She began her current position as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in APCAH in 2020 to investigate the genomic diversity and basis of attenuation of the live MS-H vaccine used against M. synoviae. She has recently commenced a project to develop next-generation vaccine candidates against M. synoviae using the endogenous CRISPR system.
