Andrew Cameron

Andrew Cameron is a Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Regina. He leads the Institute for Microbial Systems and Society, focusing on molecular genetics and microbial ecology. His research explores bacterial adaptation, gene regulation, and interactions in diverse environments.

• Molecular Genetics
• Microbial Ecology

His lab uses genomic approaches (RNA sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation) to study bacterial lifestyles and protein-DNA interactions, particularly in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica. Key research themes include acid stress adaptation, horizontal gene transfer, and DNA topology regulation. Recent publications highlight multidrug resistance plasmids, quorum sensing, and cross-feeding dynamics in microbial communities.

Research trends from his publications (2005–2025) span bacterial genomics, antibiotic resistance evolution, and host-pathogen interactions. Techniques include transcriptomics, proteomics, and phylogenomic analysis of environmental pathogens.
