Dr Anne Leonard is a senior lecturer with a particular interest in environmental epidemiology and microbial ecology.
She is investigating how AMR and pathogens are spread in non-clinical environments. Her programme of interdisciplinary, engaged research spans microbial ecology, climate change, public health, and evidence synthesis, and covers non-clinical environments such as rivers, coastal waters, aerosols and agricultural systems.
Anne holds a BSc in biological sciences, an MSc in biology and control of disease vectors, and a PhD in medical sciences.
After her PhD she was awarded a prestigious NERC Industrial Innovation Fellowship, continuing her work on the spread of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria in bathing waters.
