Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSion Bayliss is a Senior Lecturer and One Health researcher with a decade of experience applying genomics, bioinformatics and machine learning to understand bacterial evolution and the drivers of pathogenic emergence in clinical, agricultural and aquaculture settings. He leads large-scale bacterial genome analyses and develops scalable pipelines—authoring tools such as the PIRATE pangenomics toolbox—to interrogate niche specialization, virulence and antimicrobial resistance. His work spans academic and applied contexts, from real-time monitoring of aquaculture pathogens to source attribution of human gastroenteritis, bridging fundamental evolutionary theory with practical disease control. Based in Bath and trained to PhD level, he combines cloud-enabled bioinformatics engineering with a track record of cross-sector collaboration and capacity building.
