Early life and education

New was born in Sydney in 1984. She represented Australia at the International Chemistry Olympiad in 2000 and 2001, winning bronze and gold medals respectively,[1] and graduated from James Ruse Agricultural High School with a UAI of 100.[2] She earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry at the University of Sydney in 2005, where she completed her master's degree in 2006.[3] During her graduate studies she worked on fluorescent tags to monitor the cellular uptake and metabolism of anti-tumor complexes.[4] New completed her doctoral studies at Durham University working with David Parker, graduating in 2010.[5][3][6][7][8] Her work looked at the cellular behaviour of lanthanide complexes.[9]

Research and career

She was appointed a Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 Research Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley in 2010.[3] She worked with Christopher Chang on fluorescent sensors for copper.[10] She was made an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Research Fellow in 2012, working on molecular imaging.[3] New's group developed reversible fluorescent sensors for cellular redox environments.[11] She provided the first examples of reversible ratiometric cytoplasmic sensing and mitochondrial sensing.[12][13] They develop cobalt complexes for contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging.[10][14] The complexes can be used to monitor oxidative stress.[3]

New was made a lecturer in 2015 and a senior lecturer in 2016.[3] In 2017 she received the ChemComm Emerging Investigator.[10] She was appointed Associate Professor in 2018.[3]
