Andrew Roe

University of Glasgow (UK)

Andrew is currently Professor of Molecular Microbiology at the School of Infection and Immunity (University of Glasgow). His research is focused on how host metabolites influence bacterial behaviour and how this affects when and where pathogens cause infections. The main model organism is Escherichia coli and its diverse pathotypes. Understanding of the basis to infection is also applied to novel intervention strategies such as small molecule inhibitors of virulence determinants.
