Emma Keller (nee Jaunay) is an early career researcher at Clinical and Health Sciences, University of South Australia. She completed her PhD in 2022 that investigated protein glycation induced genotoxicity, cell surface receptor expression and the production of inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers in lymphoid and endothelial cells and the use of Australian natural products as a preventative therapeutic approach. After gaining analytical chemistry experience during her PhD, Emma joined the Population Health Chemistry Group at UniSA. Her research interests include using wastewater-based epidemiology to monitor chemicals of concern as well as those indicative of population health.
