Dr Lucy Weinert

Lucy Weinert is an evolutionary biologist specialising in the genomics of zoonotic bacteria - those that infect animals and transmit to humans. Her research identifies the ecological contexts and genomic changes driving increased virulence, interspecies transmission, and antimicrobial resistance in these pathogens. By uncovering these dynamics, Lucy's work contributes to forecasting pathogen emergence, developing preventive strategies, and improving treatment approaches. Infectious disease
