Welcome!

My name is Samantha Byrne, a senior lecturer at the Melbourne Dental School (MDS). At the school, I hold the role of Divisional lead: Dental Education & Innovation.

I teach oral microbiology to Bachelor of Oral Health and Doctor of Dental Surgery students at the MDS.

In my spare time I love to knit, sew and crochet. During 2020 I designed and crocheted a collection of oral bacteria, to scale where 10 cm represents 1 um.
