Chris Wilson

Dr. Chris Wilson is an Honorary Research Fellow at the Department of Life Sciences, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Imperial College. His research focuses on evolutionary biology, particularly the paradox of asexual reproduction in bdelloid rotifers, and the integration of biosensors with clinical pharmacology. He has pioneered work on microneedle-based biosensors for real-time lactate and antibiotic monitoring, contributing to advancements in continuous therapeutic drug monitoring.

His interdisciplinary research bridges evolutionary genetics and healthcare technologies, including machine learning applications for antibiotic stewardship and diagnostic methods for infectious diseases. Notable studies include challenging horizontal gene transfer mechanisms in asexual organisms and developing novel antibiotic delivery strategies using probenecid. Media engagements span BBC Radio 4, National Geographic, and international scientific outlets.

Recent work emphasizes optimizing antimicrobial use through digital health technologies and predictive analytics, addressing global challenges in antibiotic resistance and sepsis management. His contributions to clinical methodological advancements include LC/MS techniques for antibiotic quantification and biosensor validation in human trials.
