Michael is a Professor and Chair of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Manchester.
His research studies the real-time evolutionary dynamics of microbial communities using a combination of experimental evolution and genomics.Current research projects include understanding the evolution of antimicrobial resistance, the (co)evolution of bacteria and phage in microbiomes and phage therapy, and unravelling the evolutionary origins of symbiosis.
