Associate Professor Cornelia Landersdorfer leads the Antimicrobial Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Dosage regimen optimisation research group at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences. She obtained her PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Wuerzburg (2006), completed postdoctoral studies in PK/PD modelling at the State University of New York (SUNY), and worked as a Scientist at Ordway Research Institute & the Institute for Clinical Pharmacodynamics (ICPD), NY. In 2011 she joined MIPS. She has since been awarded an NHMRC Career Development Fellowship and the ASCEPT Denis Wade J&J New Investigator Award. In 2018, Cornelia received the prestigious Georgina Sweet Award for Women in Quantitative Biomedical Science. In 2020 she was awarded the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Impact award. She has led and is leading NHMRC Project and Ideas grants and is the Project Director of a large NIH clinical PK modelling contract.Associate Professor - Centre for Medicine Use and Safety.

In 2020, Cornelia joined the Monash Center to Impact AMR as a founding member and provides expert advice to our Research and Industry Strategy, Clinical Evaluation, and Training and Inclusion workkng groups.
