Kate’s enthusiasm for flow cytometry began in her undergraduate and post-graduate studies, and that passion quickly diverted her career from academia to that of a specialised and dedicated cytometrist. With diverse experience in research, clinical and commercial aspects of flow cytometry, Kate’s proficiency as a spectral cytometry expert, her reputation as a skilled educator and her advocacy of quality cytometry ensures that scientists can achieve the greatest success with their research.
After obtaining her degree from the University of Adelaide, Kate worked for 15 years at the Detmold Family Cytometry Facility as part of SA Pathology and the Centre for Cancer Biology. From there she embraced a move to Cytek where she became a spectral cytometry expert and a well-known cytometry educator.
Now the Head of Cytometry and the Malaghan Institute for Medical Research, Kate’s educational proficiency and eagerness to reinforce cytometric excellence in scientific research is perfectly aligned with the Institute’s vision.
