Dr Brooke Purdue

Brooke's experience in genetic manipulation and expression analysis spans nearly 20 years. Having worked in multiple research areas within both academia and industry, she brings both decades of management experience and a broad range of scientific knowledge. As the Operations Manager of GIH from 2019-2022, that experience enabled her to manage the diverse range of collaborative projects that GIH was involved in for the first 4 years of external project calls. In mid 2022, Brooke moved on from the GIH Operations Manager position to take up the role of Institute Manager at the UQ Diamantina Institute.
