Dr Kate Kauter<\/strong> is an Associate Professor in biomedical science at the University of Southern Queensland. She has taught anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology and microbiology to students from many disciplines including nursing, biomedical sciences, food sciences and agricultural sciences, among others. Kate has developed a number of digital activities to increase student interaction with these content areas and has deployed the use of current technologies, including use of 3D and animations in practical classes to inspire students\u2019 learning. The latest venture is the provision of an open education resource for the study of anatomy and physiology to allow all students access to the fundamental information needed in the understanding of the human body.<\/p>\n

Dr Louisa Windus<\/strong> is a lecturer and researcher in the school of Health and Wellbeing (Biomedical Sciences) at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. Louisa has a passion for developing methods that foster engagement and empower students to learn. Outside of the classroom, Louisa\u2019s research focusses on biomarkers or molecular factors that mediate cancer progression and growth. She has collaborated extensively with research institutes across Australia and has been influential in developing novel 3D in vitro models that have helped expediate the drug discovery pipeline.<\/p>\n

Dr Eliza Whiteside<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>is a biomedical science researcher and Associate Professor at the University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, Australia. For the past two decades, Eliza has taught courses in introductory biomedical science, cell and molecular biology,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0anatomy and physiology,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0laboratory methods,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>pathophysiology and<\/span><\/span> biotechnology in universities in Australia and in the United Kingdom.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Eliza\u2019s passion is in improving the lives of others through accessible knowledge building, using learning and teaching scholarship, research and community outreach.
