Biography

After completing undergraduate studies and D.Phil training at the University of Oxford, Dr. Mason spent six years abroad in Germany and France, returning to the UK to take up an academic position at King's College London. His research focuses on combining biophysical methods with systems biology approaches, including NMR metabolomics and coupled generation sequencing, to understand the activities of biological membranes and how they influence biological outcomes. His work applies this understanding to the function of antibiotics, how bacteria respond to environmental challenges, and the functional consequences of alterations in human microbiomes, particularly in the lung, gut, and vaginal areas. Recent projects include studying bacterial diversity and viability in lyophilized fecal microbiota capsules, developing new antimicrobial peptides, and exploring the metabolic responses of bacteria to various treatments.
