Alix Lee

Alix Lee is a Research Fellow at Queen's University Belfast's School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences specializing in Klebsiella pneumoniae pathogenesis. Her work investigates how this opportunistic pathogen evades host immune responses and establishes persistent gastrointestinal colonization.

Her 2023 mBio publication established an infection model for studying gut carriage mechanisms, while her forthcoming 2025 review in Trends in Microbiology synthesizes emerging paradigms in bacterial anti-immunology strategies. Her research contributes to understanding infection dynamics and developing therapeutic approaches against antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
