Dr. Guy Cameron, a proud Wailwan man, is an early career researcher specialising in immunology and microbiology.

His research journey began with a focus on immune pathways involved in respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD. His work in this area has led to several high-impact publications, establishing him as a promising researcher in the field.

In 2021, Dr. Cameron earned his PhD, where he explored immune responses in sterile acute kidney injury and in urinary tract infections, further deepening his expertise in the intersection of immunology and microbiology.

Guy now works as a postdoctoral researcher with the Aboriginal ear health team at the Hunter Medical Research Institute. His research, funded by NSW Health, investigates the bacteria associated with middle ear infections (otitis media) in Aboriginal populations, a significant health concern for young people in particular.

In addition to his research, Guy is actively involved in mentoring the next generation of medical researchers, supervising MD-research projects. He also holds an Indigenous Imaging Fellowship, co-funded by the National Imaging Facility and the University of Newcastle, highlighting his diverse research interests and commitment to Indigenous health.

Beyond his laboratory work, Dr. Cameron is dedicated to improving Indigenous health outcomes through active involvement in community health initiatives. He serves on the Wukul Yabang Aboriginal Health Research Community Panel and co-chairs the University of Newcastle’s Indigenous Student Engagement Committee.

Dr. Cameron’s work is poised to make a lasting impact on policy development and healthcare practices, reflecting his unwavering commitment to advancing Indigenous health.
