**REGISTER IN PERSON ATTENDANCE ON EVENTBRITE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/navigating-public-health-careers-tickets-523492459037**

Hi everyone,

Have you ever thought about what a career in public health could look like and how you get there?

Our February event will showcase a panel of experts sharing the different journeys that brought them to their current roles in public health so as to share with young or/and aspiring epidemiologists/statisticians/lab scientists etc.. what it takes to build a career in this sector and what are the tasks and roles and the different types of careers that one one can build.

This event is co-hosted between R-Ladies Melbourne and Women in Bioinformatics (https://twitter.com/bioinfowomen), a group founded in 2021 by Dr. Nikeisha Caruana that aims at bringing together women and minorities within the Australia bioinformatics community.

The doors will open at 5.30pm with pizza, drinks and networking.
The presentations part of the event will start at 6pm with the speaker's career journey introductions and it will be followed by a panel discussion.

This is a hybrid event and the zoom meeting passcode will be available on the night of the event.

Danielle Ingle (she/her)
Dr Danielle Ingle joined the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Melbourne in late 2020 as an NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow. This fellowship will integrate microbial genomics with population modelling, antimicrobial resistance data and epidemiology of enteric bacterial pathogens that represent significant threats to public health. Danielle completed her PhD at the University of Melbourne in 2017. She then moved to the Australian National University as a Research Fellow investigating the evolution and epidemiology of multidrug resistant enteric bacteria.

Daniella Hock (she/her)
Dr Daniella Hock is a Research Fellow in clinical proteomics at the University of Melbourne. During her career, she has worked in both industry and research in Australia and Brazil. Her current work focuses on translating proteomics into a clinical test to improve the genetic diagnosis of rare diseases as about half of the patients remain undiagnosed, some of them for years.

Looking forward to seeing you all!
