Life

Siouxsie Wiles grew up in the United Kingdom and South Africa .

She studied medical microbiology at the University of Edinburgh and graduated in 1997. She then went to the UK Center for Ecology & Hydrology in Oxford for her doctorate . After receiving your Ph.D. she went to Imperial College London and did research on Mycobacterium tuberculosis . There she began to combine bioluminescence and microbiology in order to be able to see the development of bacteria more quickly. In 2007 she became a lecturer at Imperial College.

After receiving the Sir Charles Hercus Fellowship from the New Zealand Council for Health Research, she moved to Auckland University in 2009 and has lived in New Zealand ever since . There she heads a laboratory for the luminescence of antibiotic- resistant bacteria. At the same time she began to report on science . She continued to develop this and was awarded the Science Communication Prize of the New Zealand Science Association (NZAS) in 2012 and the Prime Minister's Prize for Science Communication and the Paul Callaghan Medal of the Royal Society of New Zealand the following year .

Siouxsie Wiles is married to the New Zealand mathematician Steven Galbraith and has one daughter.
