Dr Su Chen Lim is a microbiologist at The University of Western Australia. She has a strong track record in the field of infectious disease epidemiology. Her research focuses on the One Health aspects of Clostridium difficile with an emphasis on the transmission of C. difficile between animals, humans and the environment. She has led and coordinated multiple research projects as chief and associate investigator. Many of her research findings have contributed to successful grant applications, including the WA Department of Health Research Translation Grant (~$270,000) in 2018 and an NHMRC Ideas Grant ($1.3 million) in 2021. Throughout her research career, she has had an active role in scientific societies. Her professional service extends to leadership roles within the Australian Society for Microbiology and institutional committees at The University of Western Australia. She is currently working on a cross-disciplinary Ideas Grant project where a comprehensive approach is being used to develop a system dynamics model that showcases the multiplication and transfer of C. difficile within and between different systems (animal, environmental and human). Once tested and verified, this model will be used to identify interventions to reduce the incidence of C. difficile infection and assess the economic implications of the key interventions.
