Professor Erica Donner is an environmental scientist with expertise in chemical and microbiological risk assessment and management. She specialises in systems-based contaminants analysis, focussing on the water cycle, circular economy, and food production systems.
Erica is Research Director of Australia's Cooperative Research Centre for Solving Antimicrobial Resistance in Agribusiness, Food, and Environments (CRC SAAFE). In this role, she leads a national consortium of researchers working together with industry and government partners to co-design, develop, and implement best practice solutions to mitigate the complex threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
AMR is the quintessential "One Health" challenge - the ultimate example of the interrelatedness of human, animal, and environmental health. As the health of each of these depends on the health of the others, they need to be managed as a interdependent system. This is why CRC SAAFE brings together partners from right across the One Health spectrum to work together to tackle AMR at scale and with the urgency it warrants.
Erica is a member of the Australian Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on Antimicrobial Resistance (ASTAG) and a Steering Committee member and Chair of the Communications and Education Sub-committee for the South Australian AMR Action Plan (SAAMRAP). She co-leads the Food, Soil, and Water Security Theme in the NHMRC-funded Healthy Environments and Lives (HEAL) network, collaborating to co-create regional hubs and communities of practice dedicated to advancing One Health solutions across Australia.
