Biography

Rosalind Harding is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Oxford. Her research focuses on evolution and genetic diversity within human bacterial populations, with a particular emphasis on bacterial species of high clinical significance in the UK. She employs an interdisciplinary approach that combines statistical population genetics with medical microbiology and biological anthropology. Rosalind collaborates with researchers from various departments at Oxford, including Zoology, Statistics, and the John Radcliffe Hospital, to understand the emerging antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity of benign human commensal species, especially as newly evolving lineages expand their reach within human host populations. In addition to her research, she teaches courses on human genetics and evolution in the Human Sciences and Biological Sciences undergraduate programs.
