Gal Winter

Biography

Gal has a PhD from the University of Western Sydney in collaboration with the Australian Wine Research Institute (2013). She has worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Queensland (2012-2015), before joining UNE in 2015. Gal’s main research interests include biomedical and food aspects of microbiology, with research project aiming to understand the human microbiome, including the gut-brain axis and the effects of environmental microbes on the human microbiome.
