Laura Carroll

Laura Carroll is an Assistant Professor in Clinical Microbiology at Umeå University and a SciLifeLab & Wallenberg Data-Driven Life Science researcher. Her lab develops bioinformatic approaches for pathogen surveillance, combining genomic epidemiology with machine learning for outbreak detection and antimicrobial resistance prediction.

Research focus areas:

• Phylodynamic modeling of zoonotic pathogens
• Machine learning for phenotype prediction
• Multi-omics approaches for virulence assessment
• Accessible computational methods for microbiologists
