Megan Llewellyn

PhD Researcher

I graduated from the University of Liverpool with a BSc Biological Sciences degree in 2024, and then I went on to complete my Masters by Research degree with the University of Exeter, finishing in 2025. During my Masters project I focused on anti-phage defence system expression and phage susceptibility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. My PhD project, supervised by Edze Westra at the University of Exeter, focuses on developing phage therapy solutions for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, with particular interest in anti-phage defence system action and interactions within biofilms.
