Background
Linda completed her PhD in 2005 at the Institute for Tropical Medicine in Hamburg, Germany, investigating the role of heat shock proteins in Leishmania infections.
She then joined Professor James Beeson’s lab at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research as a postdoctoral scientist before moving to the Burnet Institute in 2011 with the rest of the group.
Her work is focused on the role of invasion ligands as targets of protective antibodies in acquired immunity against malaria.
