Resumo: Dr De Meyer is a biochemist and internationally recognised expert in legume microbiology with 6+ years leading research projects within Universities and Research Centres, both in Australia and overseas. She graduated with a PhD in Biotechnology and Biochemistry from Ghent University (Belgium) in 2011 and then moved to Australia to establish a research career at Murdoch University in the agricultural industry. When faced with re-occurring questions about rhizobia identification she investigated alternative technologies and developed a rhizobia identification service. This presented an ideal step change towards commercialisation and hence she founded MALDIID Pty Ltd in 2017, a root nodule bacteria identification service for farmers and institutes. Growing up in an entrepreneurial family she always had the mindset of making things work no matter how hard you have to work for it.
