Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan-ulrich Kreft is a Senior Lecturer in Computational Biology at the University of Birmingham with over two decades of research and teaching experience at the interface of microbiology and mathematics. He specializes in biofilms, plasmid and antimicrobial-resistance dynamics, quorum sensing, and predator–prey interactions such as Bdellovibrio, bringing quantitative modeling and thermodynamic perspectives to microbial social behavior. Jan-ulrich combines active supervision of undergraduate to postdoctoral researchers with long-standing course leadership in microbiology, biochemistry, statistics and mathematical modelling. His career spans research posts across Germany and the UK and a PhD in Microbiology from Universität Konstanz, reflecting deep academic roots and sustained interdisciplinary impact. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate theoretical systems-biology models into experimentally testable predictions about growth kinetics and social dynamics in microbial communities.
