Rosanna Wright

Rosanna Wright serves as a Dr Dean's Prize Fellow in the Division of Evolution, Infection and Genomics, conducting cutting-edge research on microbial evolution and antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. Her work bridges fundamental evolutionary biology with clinical applications for treating intractable bacterial infections.

Her research program centers on bacteriophage therapy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, plasmid-mediated resistance evolution, and host-pathogen coevolutionary dynamics. She investigates how inflammatory environments influence bacterial quorum sensing, the genomic predictors of phage therapy efficacy, and fitness trade-offs in antibiotic resistance development. Her fingerprint analysis reveals dominant expertise in bacteriophage biology (100%), P. aeruginosa pathogenesis (38%), and plasmid dynamics (35%).

Recent publications demonstrate a translational trajectory from basic evolutionary principles to therapeutic applications, particularly in chronic lung infections. Her work integrates genomic defense system analysis, in vivo infection models, and network theory to overcome pan-resistance in bacterial pathogens, with strong emphasis on clinical relevance for cystic fibrosis and hospital-acquired infections.
