Professor Michael Brockhurst is a Chair in Evolutionary Biology. His research studies the real-time evolutionary dynamics of microbial communities using a combination of experimental evolution and genomics.
Current research projects include understanding the evolution of antimicrobial resistance (funded by Wellcome Trust), the (co)evolution of bacteria and phage in microbiomes and phage therapy (funded by BBSRC), and unravelling the evolutionary origins of symbiosis (funded by NERC).
