About
Dr. Tom Williams is a Research Fellow at Newcastle University, specializing in evolutionary biology, genomics, and microbial genetics. His work focuses on understanding the evolutionary origins of eukaryotes, genome dynamics in microsporidia, and phylogenetic modeling.
Key research areas include:
- Evolution of intracellular parasites (Microsporidia)
- Phylogenomic analysis of Archaea and Eukaryotes
- Host-pathogen interactions
- Gene acquisition and functional divergence
- Compositional heterogeneity in molecular evolution
His 2019-2015 publications reveal a focus on transporter gene evolution, iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis, and redefining the eukaryotic tree of life through integrative modeling. Collaborations include work with Emeritus Professor T. Martin Embley.
