“The time pursuing my Honours degree here convinced me that Monash has the quality and research culture that will support my PhD candidature. Everyone here is also friendly and helpful which definitely helps alleviate the stressful albeit positive postgraduate life. In the future, I hope to deepen our understanding on the roles of microbes on health and wellbeing. I would also like to help educate the public in science to combat scientific illiteracy and pseudoscience.” JACKY DWIYANTO Doctor of Philosophy (in the area of Microbial Genetics) Jacky is researching gut microbiota profiles, unique to every individual, of Malaysians.
