Lesley is a Scientific Programme Officer at the Global AMR R&D Hub, Berlin, a global partnership focussed on addressing challenges and improving coordination and collaboration in global AMR R&D using a One Health approach. She has over ten years-experience working in academia as a researcher and lecturer in Microbial Ecogenomics, applying molecular and bioinformatics techniques to tackle questions regarding the human gut microbiome/virome in health and disease. This has spanned the themes of the gut microbial resistome and the therapeutic use of bacteriophage. In tandem, Lesley has worked in the biotech sector, gaining a ‘full circle’ perspective and appreciation for the multi-factorial challenges that exist on the continuum between idea, result and actual product. Lesley joined the Global AMR R&D Hub in February 2021 hoping to combine scientific insight with targeted action to help combat the silent pandemic of AMR.
