Laura Mackay
Laura K. Mackay FAHMS is an Australian immunologist and microbiologist, specialising in tissue-resident memory T cells[5] and their involvement in skin immunity.[4][6] She is a Laboratory lead at the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity.[4] Mackay is listed as an esteemed scientist in the Encyclopaedia of Australian Science and Innovation.[7] Her research on tissue-resident memory T cells has been featured by the University of Melbourne.[8] She has been interviewed by Science on diversity in STEM[9] and ABC Radio National Science Show on the influence of science on public good.[10]
