Biography:
Mark Mayo is a Darwin local and graduate of Charles Darwin University. Mark has worked on many research projects during his time at the Menzies School of Health Research from malaria and melioidosis to petrol sniffing and childhood ear diseases.
For over 14 years Mark has been researching melioidosis, a potentially fatal tropical disease found in the tropical areas of Northern Australia. Mark’s research into this disease covers many different aspects, from early detection of the disease in hospital and clinical settings, to understanding the environmental niche of the bacteria and the potential exposure risks to people and animals in an endemic region.
