I think it's really important in research to be part of a good team, and part of a supportive team. I work with Professor Martina Sanderson-Smith, who is the head of the Infectious Disease Research Group. I'm really fortunate that Martina is someone who supports me in a lot of different ways, and encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, to be independent, and to pursue the ideas that I come up with. Anuk Indraratna PhD Candidate in Infectious Diseases
