Dr. Lydia C Powell is a Lecturer in Microbiology and Infectious Diseases at Swansea University School of Medicine. Her research bridges engineering and biomedical sciences, focusing on bacterial cell mechanics, biofilm dynamics, and translational therapies for cystic fibrosis and chronic infections. Key contributions include developing anti-biofilm therapeutics now in clinical trials (AlgiPharma AS/Qbiotics) and investigating AMR mechanisms in biofilms to identify novel treatment targets.

Research interests include:
- Bacterial biofilm biophysics
- Antimicrobial resistance dynamics
- Alginate-based therapies
- Host-pathogen interactions
- Medical device biofilm prevention
Recent work highlights:
- 2025: Ovarian cancer resistance mechanisms and metastasis
- 2023: Alginate oligosaccharide drug design against Pseudomonas
- 2022: Epoxy-tigliane wound healing agents
Collaborations with industry (AlgiPharma AS/Qbiotics) and academia (e.g., Prof Thomas Wilkinson) advance clinical translation of findings.
