Her specialist areas are infectious diseases and bioluminescence. Early lifeWiles grew up in the United Kingdom and South Africa. Her mother is a retired social worker and her father is a business owner.[1] EducationWiles studied at the University of Edinburgh and graduated in 1997 with a BSc(Hons) in Medical Microbiology. While an undergraduate, she received a Nuffield Scholarship and worked in the university's School of Biological Sciences.[1] Wiles completed her PhD at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, previously known as the Institute of Virology and Environmental Microbiology.[2][3] Professional lifeAfter completing her PhD, Wiles moved to Imperial College London for a post-doctoral research position on tuberculosis. In 2007 she became a lecturer at Imperial College, and in 2009 was awarded a Sir Charles Hercus Fellowship from the Health Research Council of New Zealand and moved to the University of Auckland.[4] Wiles is the head of the university's Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab.[1] Science communicationWiles is passionate about demystifying science for the general public. She is an active blogger on Sciblogs.co.nz, an online podcaster, a commentator on Radio New Zealand and appears on TV shows to discuss science stories in the news.[1][4] She was one of eight scientists who fronted the New Zealand government's National Science Challenges in 2012, and co-presented the TV series "The Great New Zealand Science Project".[3][5] Her book Antibiotic Resistance: The End of Modern Medicine[6] was published in 2017 and examined the growing global problem of antibiotics resistance. Commenting on the book, University of Otago infectious diseases expert Professor Kurt Krause described it as "a clear call to action for New Zealanders on one of the most critical issues we face".[6] She has also used art and film to communicate scientific ideas: in 2011 she collaborated with Australian graphic artist Luke Harris to produce a series of animated films featuring bioluminescent creatures and their uses in science.[4] One of the animations, on fireflies, was selected for inclusion in the 6th Imagine Science Film Festival in New York in 2013, and the Goethe Institute’s 2014 Science Film Festival.[1] Wiles collaborated with artist Rebecca Klee on an installation at the Auckland Art in the Dark Festival in 2013, which featured the Hawaiian bobtail squid.[7] More recent science communication projects include the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vls0dULQ88 Biolumination II exhibition] initially held in 2015 and the [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm7y37woGwITDJID8FljtzQ?view_as=subscriber Glow Hub Youtube channel], which brings together animated videos on the subject of bioluminescence. In 2018, Wiles was named as a finalist for New Zealander of the Year for her work on antibiotic-resistant superbugs and infectious diseases.[8] Awards and recognition
