Dr. Birgitta Duim is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, specializing in the Department of Biomolecular Health Sciences, Infectious Diseases & Immunology. Her research bridges microbiology, genomics, and public health with a focus on antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, zoonotic pathogen transmission, and molecular epidemiology of bacterial infections. Her core research interests include: Genomic evolution of Campylobacter and Staphylococcus species across animal and human hosts Development of molecular diagnostics for pathogen detection and typing Antimicrobial resistance dynamics in veterinary and zoonotic pathogens Microbiome interactions in disease transmission using next-generation sequencing One Health approaches to bacterial infections at the human-animal interface Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals consistent themes: bacterial genomic adaptation (particularly in Campylobacter fetus and MRSA), novel diagnostic method development, transmission dynamics in veterinary settings, and microbiome-pathogen interactions. Her work frequently employs cutting-edge genomic technologies to track outbreaks and resistance patterns across species. She holds significant committee roles including: Member of Commissie ter beoordeling van de MMO (2017-present) Member of College van Toezicht Faculteit Natuur en Techniek, Hogeschool Utrecht (2015-present) Secretary of Dutch Division on Molecular Typing (KNVM, 2007-2019) Scientific Committee member of Royal Society for Microbiology and Society for Medical Microbiology (2006-present)
