She received a PhD from Bangor University in 2003 and was an Australian Research Council Future Fellow (2013-2017).

Sanders has examined and published on the aquatic snakes of seas off the Western Australian and Indonesian coasts. [1] [3] Recent work has included new discoveries on the evolution of sea snake vision, [4] cutaneous respiration in the forehead of some sea snakes, [5] the presence of light sensors in the tails of some sea snakes [6] and a description of the squamate clitoris [7] (a hitherto under explored subject).
