Dr. Kenneth Laing is a Reader in Genomics and Bioinformatics at the Infection and Immunity Research Institute, University of London, with extensive experience in pathogen genomics and bioinformatics. His research focuses on developing and applying functional genomics and bioinformatics technologies to infectious diseases, particularly molecular diagnostics, genomics of virulence, antimicrobial resistance, and next-generation sequencing applications in epidemiology and outbreak investigations.
Dr. Laing teaches at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, serving as module coordinator for the 3rd year Medical Microbiology Project Module and co-organizer of laboratory projects managing ~250 annual projects. He jointly coordinates the Medical Genomics Infectious Diseases module and delivers lectures/practicals for biomedical sciences students across multiple programs.
His recent publications demonstrate strong focus on emerging infectious diseases including mpox and SARS-CoV-2, utilizing genomic surveillance, molecular diagnostics, and epidemiological approaches to improve clinical management and public health responses.
