Biography
Trevor leads a research team in the Biomedicine Discovery Institute and established the Centre to Impact AMR at Monash University.
His research is aimed at reversing the evolution of superbugs, particularly Klebsiella, so that existing antibiotics can be used to treat bacterial infections. This includes the application of phage therapies that can re-sensitize superbugs for more effective treatment with existing and future antibiotics.
Professor Lithgow is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and the 2020 winner of the Lemberg Medal, awarded by the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for excellence in the field of biochemistry and molecular biology and who has made significant contributions to the scientific community.
