Biography

Harry-Luke McClelland's research focuses on computational microbiology and structural biology. He investigates how microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, and unicellular eukaryotes, interact with their environments using a combination of experiments and mathematical modeling. He completed his undergraduate studies in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, followed by a Master's degree in Phylogenetics and Evolution at Imperial College London. His PhD in Isotope Geochemistry from the University of Oxford centered on understanding how marine algae fractionate carbon isotopes. He has held postdoctoral positions at Washington University in St. Louis, where he studied single-cell metabolism, and at the Weizmann Institute of Science, focusing on biological isotopes and enzyme behavior. In 2020, he began his faculty career as a Lecturer in Geomicrobiology and Biogeochemistry at the University of Melbourne, returning to the UK in 2023 to take up a faculty role at University College London in Computational Microbiology.
