Senior Lecturer in Bacterial Pathogenesis, Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge
Dr Andrew Grant is a Senior Lecturer in Bacterial Pathogenesis in the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Cambridge. His research interests lie in host-pathogen interactions and the molecular basis of virulence.
His research is broad-ranging and multidisciplinary, from understanding the roles of individual bacterial proteins in virulence, studying the within-host population dynamics of bacterial pathogens and understanding the host response to infection. He aims to use integrated approaches where advanced molecular, genomic, proteomic and microscopy techniques, in combination with mathematical and statistical models, enable me to tease out heterogeneous events in infection.
Dr Grant's recent work has concentrated on a systems-level in vivo analysis of Salmonella-host interactions, to provide the mechanistic detail to describe infective disease within the host. Current work concentrates on understanding Campylobacter, specifically how it colonises animals, how it survives in the environment and food production system and how it causes disease in humans.
