[Profile] Kit Fairley: a pioneer in STI research

Christopher (Kit) Fairley had a grandfather and both parents as doctors to look up to while growing up in Melbourne, but he also felt the strain of having dyslexia and the stigma and classroom bullying it led to. However, he and his twin brother Stephen gained much of their confidence and love of nature through weekend visits to the farm their patents owned in countryside Victoria state. “I think it was constantly seeing mum and dad and their love and excitement of working in research as doctors that made me want to follow in their footsteps”, Fairley told The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
