Biography
Dr Crowley began her scientific career at RMIT University followed by completing her PhD at Deakin University in 2004. She then moved to CSIRO's AAHL where she spent 12 years working on projects focused on agriculture. During her time at AAHL she had the opportunity to develop her bioinformatic capabilities. In the later part of the CSIRO position she also established links with Deakin through a joint Bioinformatics position. Recently (2016) Dr Crowley has joined the School of Medicine as an academic staff member teaching in the areas of Pharmacology and Therapeutic development. Dr Crowley Is also the founder of Deakin's Bioinformatic Core Research Facility.
