معرفی
Amy Burgess is a Lecturer in Microbiology at Teesside University's SHLS Life Sciences. Her research focuses on viral discovery in invasive species, particularly amphipod hosts, and evolutionary dynamics of viruses in arthropods. She holds a PhD on 'Viral discovery and evolutionary dynamics in invasive amphipod hosts', alongside a MRes (2020) and BSc (2019) in Biological Sciences from Teesside University.
Education:
- BSc (Hons) Biological Sciences, Teesside University (2016–2019)
- MRes (Hons) Biological Sciences, Teesside University (2019–2020)
- PhD (ongoing) on viral discovery and evolutionary dynamics in invasive amphipod hosts
Research Interests:
- Discovery and evolution of viruses in invasive invertebrates
- Nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs)
- Parasitology of invasive species
- Marine and freshwater microbial ecology
Publications Trends: Recent work emphasizes Antarctic virology, nudivirus taxonomy, and invasive species pathobiology. Key themes include viral genome analysis, evolutionary relationships between parasites and hosts, and ecological impacts of invasive microorganisms.
Awards: No scientific awards explicitly stated in available texts.
