Biography

Georg Fritz is a physicist with a strong interest in synthetic microbiology, and currently works as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Western Australia in the School of Molecular Sciences. He completed his PhD in theoretical physics in 2012 at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. His research began with theoretical models of gene regulatory circuits focusing on the regulation of bacterial stress responses. Transitioning to experimental work, he became a Postdoctoral Fellow at Biocenter Munich, where he studied antibiotic resistance mechanisms in Gram-positive bacteria. In 2014, he accepted a position as a research group leader at the SYNMIKRO Center for Synthetic Microbiology in Marburg, Germany, where he developed an interdisciplinary research profile in synthetic biology to address antimicrobial resistance. Since 2019, he has pursued research on microbial plastic degradation and bioplastic production, while also dedicating time as a Senior Lecturer in Synthetic Biology at UWA. His vast research interests encompass regulatory processes in metabolic networks, antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, engineering microbial solutions for environmental remediation, and the design and implementation of synthetic genetic circuits in bacteria.
