معرفی
Dr. Daniel Angst is a Researcher at ETH Zurich's Department of Environmental Systems Science, affiliated with the Professorship for Pathogen Ecology and the Theoretical Biology Group. His research focuses on antibiotic resistance, including the costs and benefits of resistance genes, bacterial trade-offs, and strategies to reduce resistance evolution in metapopulations.
Education: PhD Student (2011-2016) with Sebastian Bonhoeffer and Martin Ackermann; MSc Environmental Science, Ecology and Evolution (2009-2011); BSc Environmental Sciences (2005-2009), all at ETH Zurich. He also completed an internship in anti-infectives at Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (2010-2011).
Research Interests: Antibiotic resistance dynamics, microbial ecology, evolutionary biology, and epidemiological models. Current work emphasizes prudent antibiotic use to mitigate resistance evolution.
Key Themes in Publications: Explores antibiotic resistance mechanisms, SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics, and computational tools for epidemiological monitoring (e.g., the estimateR package). His work bridges lab-based experiments and theoretical models to address real-world public health challenges.
Labs/Teams: Active in the Theoretical Biology Group and collaborates with institutions like the University Hospital Zurich (antibiotic-microbiome interactions).
