Personal statement
Laboratory webpage is here聽http://paulhoskisson.weebly.com
Research in my group is focussed on the evolution and synthesis of natural products (partricularly antibiotics) and the evolution of the organisms that produce them, using a range of techniques from molecular biology and biochemistry through to mathematical modelling and experimental evolution.
The bacterial genus Streptomyces is the main focus of work in my Research Group due to its industrial importance, being聽responsible for producing around two thirds of all commercially important antibiotics as well as numerous anti-fungal, anti-helminthic and anti-cancer drugs.聽
We also have an interest in evolution of metabolism, evolution of bacterial pathogens, genomics of actinobacteria and the exploitation of amphibian proteins for biotechnology.聽
I am currently the Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Engineering Biology at 吃瓜tv. I was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (2021) and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology (FRSB) in 2016.
I am a member of the Microbiology Society, the American Society of Microbiology, The society for Molecular Biology and Evolution, the Biochemical Society, The Royal Society of Biology and British Herpetological Society.
I am a senior editor聽for Microbial Genomics.
I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
I am interested in the use of Social media for communication of science and you can follow on Bluesky @paulhoskisson.bsky.social
