Dr. Bialasiewicz has worked at the Royal Children's Hospital and now Children's Health Queensland HHS for over 17 years conducting translational research and clinical support centering on infectious disease molecular diagnostics, general microbiology and molecular epidemiology. Since 2019, he has shared his time between CHQ and ACE, expanding on a growing interest in the microbial ecology of the human body, it's role in health and disease, and ways to manipulated to achieve desirable outcomes. In particular, he is interested in leveraging emerging techniques to explore the hidden diversity of microorganisms which may not have been well characterised in particular body sites or have been missed due to limitations of traditional techniques.
