Alexandre Almeida

Alexandre Almeida is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on human microbiome genomics, bacterial evolution, host adaptation, and antimicrobials. Almeida serves as a theme lead in Functional and Evolutionary Genomics and is available to supervise doctoral and master's students. His work explores the genetic and evolutionary dynamics of microbial systems in relation to host interactions and therapeutic applications.

Alexandre Almeida is a researcher at the University of Cambridge specializing in bioinformatics, genomics, and microbiome analysis. His work focuses on the human microbiome, microbiology, and phylogenetics, with an emphasis on understanding microbial diversity and function. Almeida has contributed to the development of genomic resources such as the MGnify platform, which provides tools for microbiome analysis. His research includes the creation of extensive genome catalogs for the human gut microbiome, exploring the genetic and functional diversity of microbial communities. He has also investigated the role of bacteriophages and archaea in the gut microbiota, as well as the ecological dynamics of bacterial populations in the human gut.
