Greg Wickham

I am a genome scientist working with Prof Irene Papatheodorou developing computational models to understand disease trajectories in late-stage Crohn’s disease from single-cell transcriptomic data. 

My main research interests lie in using data-intensive bioscience, machine learning and multi-omic technologies to develop integrative approaches to understand human health and disease.

Prior to joining the Earlham Institute, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Quadram Institute working with Prof Cynthia Whitchurch investigating Pseudomonas aeruginosa pangenomes in the clinical outcome of chronic infections in the cystic fibrosis lung. 

I hold a MSc with distinction in Medical Microbiology from the University of Manchester and completed my Ph.D. in 2021 under the supervision of Prof. Mark Webber at the Quadram Institute investigating how collateral selective networks shape evolutionary trajectories to antibiotic resistance in biofilms of P. aeruginosa.
