Dr Shan Goh is a Senior Lecturer in Microbiology. She completed her BSc(Hons.) in Microbiology and Pathology at the University of Western Australia, where she continued postgraduate studies on bacteriophages of Clostridium difficile obtaining her PhD in 2004. Dr Goh was a postdoctoral researcher at the National University of Singapore, studying C. difficile phages, from 2004-2006. She then joined the ASTAR Bioprocessing Technology Institute, Singapore as a Research Scientist constructing expression plasmids for metabolic engineering. In 2006, she was awarded a visiting scientist scholarship by the Swedish Institute for postdoctoral training at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden for investigating bacterial growth essential gene stringency and thereafter joined a team searching for novel human viruses using next generation sequencing. Dr Goh moved to the Royal Veterinary College in 2009 to work on molecular therapeutics targeting pathogens infecting humans and animals. In 2017, Dr Goh joined the University of Hertfordshire and continues research on molecular therapeutics, phage-mediated gene transfer, and genetic tool development in microbes important in human and animal health.
