Computational Biologist
Alison MacFadyen
Bio
My past research positions have covered many research areas, from Industrial Biotechnology to Environmental Engineering and most recently Molecular Epidemiology. These roles have allowed me to apply my skills in molecular microbiology and computational biology.
As I am interested in microbial interactions, with a particular focus on inter-species interactions and co-evolution, my role at The Sainsbury Laboratory is ideal. It is exciting to support the research being undertaken exploring plant-microbe interactions.
I am also an active member of the Microbiology Society, where I am currently a member of their Sustainability Committee.
