During the third year of her degree Emilia was offered a summer internship at the Bundoora campus of Walter & Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) as an Animal Technician. She continued on to full time employment and stayed at WEHI in this role for four years across both Bundoora and Parkville campuses. Emilia then moved into a Research Assistant position working on Acute Myeloid Leukemia, particularly the role of CEBPa and PU.1 on cell differentiation in cell culture and animal models based at WEHI and then at the Australian Centre for Blood Disease at AMREP.
