Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdrian Forsythe is a bioinformatician with a decade of experience bridging microbiology, evolutionary genetics, and big-data genomics to study microbial communities across time and environments. Having completed an MSc and PhD at McMaster and held postdoctoral research roles at Uppsala University, he led interdisciplinary projects reconstructing the oral microbiome of ancient and modern wild mammals, combining genomics, ecology, and archaeological context. Now at EMBL GeneCore in Germany, he applies tidyverse workflows and evolutionary methods to translate complex sequence data into ecological and functional insights. Colleagues value his clear science communication and collaborative approach across disciplines, and his trajectory reflects a persistent curiosity about how environmental and anthropogenic changes shape host-associated microbiomes.
