Dr. Chris Wilson is a Departmental Lecturer in Evolutionary Biology at the University of Oxford, affiliated with St Hilda's College. His research focuses on evolutionary puzzles such as the persistence of sexual reproduction and the success of asexual organisms like bdelloid rotifers. He investigates how these microscopic invertebrates combat pathogens through molecular adaptations, including horizontal gene transfers from bacteria.
His work integrates field studies, population genetics, and experimental evolution, with notable findings in antimicrobial strategies published in 2024. This research bridges evolutionary theory and applied microbiology, informing potential treatments for human, animal, and crop pathogens.
No awards or grants are listed, and no advisees are mentioned. His studies utilize advanced techniques such as transcriptomics and metagenomics, conducted across multiple Oxford facilities.
