Gemma Atkinson is an Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer at Lund University. Her research focuses on protein evolution, utilizing both computational analyses and experimental methods to explore protein function, structure, and the adaptive features of proteins in microbial defense mechanisms against phages. She leads a research team engaged in developing bioinformatics tools for analysis of molecular sequence data and has a significant interest in toxin-antitoxin systems and their roles in bacterial survival strategies. Atkinson's lab has created various online resources for the scientific community, facilitating high-throughput protein structure prediction and supporting projects aimed at decoding bacterial responses to phage attacks. Her notable contributions also include ongoing collaborations to investigate the interplay between antibiotic resistance and phage resistance in bacteria, along with discovering new ribosome-associating proteins involved in translation and antibiotic resistance.
