Biography

Sean Booth is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Manitoba. His research is focused on the antagonistic interactions among bacteria, particularly the mechanisms involved in using small-molecule antibiotics and protein bacteriocins to kill or inhibit competitors. Sean aims to understand the evolution, ecology, and physiology of these bacterial 'weapons', posing fundamental questions about how bacteria make or carry such weapons, the determinants of their effectiveness, and how weapon usage is connected to metabolic processes and motility. His approach is multidisciplinary, integrating mathematical modeling, computational bioinformatics, and synthetic biology with experimental studies involving 'armed' bacteria in competitive scenarios.
