معرفی
Klara Wanelik is a Surrey Future Fellow at the University of Surrey, affiliated with the School of Biosciences and the Department of Microbes, Infection and Immunity. She holds a DPhil and specializes in host-microbe ecology, focusing on understanding natural variation in host responses to infection and disease. Her research employs interdisciplinary approaches to study health and disease dynamics across molecular (genes), physiological (pathways), and behavioral scales.
Her current projects investigate 'What makes a superspreader?' using poultry models and Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC). Recent work includes studies on gut microbiota diversity, epigenetic aging via faecal samples, and long-term immune profiles in wild rodents. Methodologically, she combines field ecology, molecular biology, and network theory to address ecological and evolutionary questions.
Publications span microbiome analysis, infection dynamics, and ecological methodology, with a focus on rodents and poultry systems. No scientific awards are explicitly listed in her profile. Advising/grant details are not provided here, though her research likely involves collaborative grants given the interdisciplinary nature of her work. She contributes to ecological equity discussions, as seen in her 2020 study on career barriers in ecology/evolution fields.
