| Biography | Ian is Professor in Microbial Genomics. His research uses multi-omic strategies to better understand microbial symbiosis and pathogenesis, host/microbe interactions and bacterial genome evolution. Throughout his career Ian has developed and adopted DNA sequencing technologies and applications across multiple disciplines and in both the wet-lab and computational biology settings, but mainly focused on infectious diseases. He maintains interests in DNA sequencing capacity building in low-middle income settings to support studies including emerging and neglected tropical diseases and vector-borne disease. He has helped attract over £2m in research funding from funders such as Wellcome, NERC, BBSRC, the Royal Society and the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. |
