Mr Getnet is a PhD candidate in the Antimicrobial Optimisation Group at Frazer Institute, the University of Queensland. My research focuses on pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) optimisation of antimicrobial agents, particularly β-lactamase inhibitors in combination with β-lactam antibiotics. He specialise in antimicrobial dose optimisation using dynamic hollow-fibre infection models, with findings translated into clinical practice under the supervision of Dr Fekade Sime. I also contribute to population pharmacokinetic studies of antimicrobials in critically ill patients in collaboration with experts at UQCCR, led by Professor Jason Roberts. His technical expertise includes in vitro infection models (MIC testing, time-kill experiments, hollow-fibre infection models, Biofilm infection model, DNA extraction and quantification); population PK modelling and Monte Carlo simulation using Monolix and Simulx; and strong communication and scientific writing skills. He holds a BSc in Pharmacy and MSc in Pharmacology, with over ten years of teaching and research experience at Haramaya and Wollo Universities in Ethiopia. He has published more than 25 peer-reviewed articles in reputable journals.
