About me

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 intent on understanding the environmental dimensions of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in these contexts and how we can best harness this knowledge to deliver positive benefits for societies. Her research, which is grounded in the concepts of One Health and One Water, reveals the close interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health.

About me

To address the complex challenge of AMR Erica engages in industry-partnered research to support informed discussion and the co-development of sustainable solutions. In recent years, she has led an SA government-funded international collaboration project on AMR in wastewater treatment plants and downstream environments. She was also a core participant in European COST Action ES1403: ‘New and Emerging Challenges and Opportunities in Wastewater Reuse’ (NEREUS; www.nereus-cost.eu), a four-year collaborative network program bringing together scientists from around the world to share insights, conduct joint research, and mentor early career researchers.

Erica is a member of the Australian Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on Antimicrobial Resistance (ASTAG) and is a Steering Committee member for the Victorian Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy and the South Australian AMR Action Plan. She is also co-lead of the Water, Soil, and Food Security Theme in the NHMRC-funded national HEAL network (www.heal2021.com.au/heal-network). This newly established democratic research network, which has strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership, is co-creating regional hubs and communities of practice dedicated to advancing One Health solutions across Australia.

Building on her interest and expertise in AMR, Erica has worked with industry collaborators in the water, organic waste, and agricultural sectors to initiate a Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) bid. The CRC for Solving Antimicrobial resistance in Agribusiness, Food and Environments (CRC SAAFE) is a cross-sector bid designed to help translate Australia’s National AMR Strategy into industry best practice. The CRC consortium provides the ideal forum to co-create knowledge with industry experts and researchers through a fundamentally transdisciplinary approach. The CRC SAAFE proposal is currently undergoing Stage 2 assessment in Round 23 of the CRC program.
