Michael Radzieta is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Western Sydney University working in Prof Slade Jensen’s lab. Based at the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research, his area of research has focused primarily on chronic wounds, with particular focus on diabetic related foot ulcers. He received his PhD in 2019 for his work on novel antimicrobials and antibiotic resistance in clinically relevant bacterial pathogens. He then started a postdoc working for the South West Sydney Limb Preservation and Wound Research academic unit in which he studied the role of biofilm and the microbiome in chronic wounds. Currently, he is working as a postdoc on a CRC-P funded project to discover novel mechanisms to identify biofilm within chronic wounds in order to improve patient treatments and outcomes.
