Andrew Grant

Andrew Grant is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Veterinary Medicine. His research focuses on bacterial pathogens, particularly how bacteria colonise different hosts, survive in the environment, cause disease in some hosts, and how different hosts respond to infection. The aim of his work is to design novel intervention strategies. His research areas include infectious diseases, bacterial pathogens, vaccines, therapeutics, and antimicrobial resistance.

Dr Andrew Grant is an Associate Professor in Microbial Pathogenesis at the University of Cambridge, specializing in bacterial pathogenesis. His research explores the mechanisms by which bacteria cause disease, focusing on the dynamics of bacterial spread within hosts and the interactions between pathogens and immune systems. His work includes studies on Salmonella and Campylobacter, examining their intracellular behavior, virulence factors, and strategies for evading host defenses. He also investigates the role of environmental factors and host-pathogen interactions in disease transmission. His research integrates experimental and computational approaches to model bacterial infections and evaluate vaccine strategies.
