Jonathan Richardson received his BSc Honours Degree in Biochemistry and PhD in Genetics from the University of Aberdeen. He was appointed as a Lecturer in Host-Fungal Interactions at King's College London in 2019. Prior to his lectureship, he undertook postdoctoral research at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, the University of Cambridge, University College London, and St George's, King's College London. His research focuses on the use of a wide range of molecular techniques to investigate host-fungal interactions, particularly the role of toxin-mediated pathogenicity and the host responses to fungal infection. He has contributed to various publications exploring the mechanisms of Candida albicans and its interactions with host cells, including studies on candidalysin and its effects on epithelial cells. His lab also investigates the microbiome's role in health and disease, aiming to understand the complex relationships between microbes, including bacteria and fungi, in conditions such as oral diseases and systemic illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease.
