Dr. Habtamu Derseh
Lecturer, Biological Sciences
Dr Derseh completed his PhD in Veterinary Science at the University of Melbourne in 2021 and subsequently joined Federation University Australia as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. His research centres on translational respiratory medicine, with a focus on pulmonary fibrosis, lung injury, and pneumonia in sheep. By combining large animal (sheep) models with advanced molecular biology techniques, Dr Derseh investigates disease mechanisms and evaluates novel therapeutic strategies in collaboration with both academic and industry partners.
In addition to his research, Dr Derseh contributes significantly to teaching within the Bachelor of Science and Veterinary Bioscience programs and currently serves as Course Coordinator for the Bachelor of Science.
