معرفی
Claudia Igler is a Wellcome Trust Research Fellow at the University of Manchester's Division of Evolution, Infection and Genomics. Her research focuses on microbial ecology and evolution, particularly phage-bacteria interactions and mobile genetic elements. She combines experimental approaches with mathematical modeling to study phage lysis mechanisms and antibiotic resistance evolution.
Education: PhD in Biophysics of Transcription Factor Binding from IST Austria (2019), MSc in Biomedical Engineering and BSc in Mathematics from Vienna University of Technology.
Research Interests: Investigating how genetic and environmental factors influence phage lysis efficiency, predicting bacterial-phage population dynamics, and applying this to phage therapy for antibiotic-resistant infections. Her work integrates microbiology, evolutionary biology, and computational modeling.
Awards: DOC Fellowship (2016), ETH Zurich Postdoctoral Fellowship (2020), Wellcome Early Career Award (2023).
Advising/Grants: Open to mentoring students and postdocs in interdisciplinary projects. Active in collaborative research on mobile genetic elements and antibiotic resistance.
Labs/Teams: Leads research in the Division of Evolution, Infection and Genomics, focusing on bacterial and phage dynamics with applications to medical microbiology.
