Biography
Karen Breese is a synthetic organic chemist working on the development of herbicides with new modes of action with Assoc. Prof. Keith Stubbs in the School of Molecular Sciences. She completed her PhD with Assoc. Prof. Russell Barrow at ANU, where she developed hybrid antimalarials to overcome the issue of chloroquine resistance. Subsequently she moved to an industry position at Epichem as a medicinal chemist working on projects in drug discovery for neglected diseases and custom synthesis before joining UWA in 2020. Currently, her research focusses on using chemical and biological approaches to develop new herbicides for use in the agricultural industry.
