Freya Harrison is a Reader in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Warwick, specializing in the study of bacterial pathogens that lead to chronic infections. Her research focuses on understanding how these bacteria survive and thrive in environments that closely mimic those found in infected individuals, especially in relation to cystic fibrosis and non-healing wounds. Harrison's team utilizes novel laboratory models to explore biofilm infections, where bacteria form protective groups against antibiotics and host defenses. Additionally, she collaborates with colleagues in various fields, including arts and humanities to identify potential antimicrobial compounds in historical medicinal texts. With an interest in developing new therapeutic methods to combat antibiotic resistance, Harrison's work has significant implications for both basic microbiological research and clinical applications. Her current projects involve diverse methodologies, from wet lab experiments to advanced bioinformatics analyses, aiming to address the urgent challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
