Senior🎓
Top SchoolSusheel Busi is Head of Molecular Ecology at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, bringing eight years of interdisciplinary experience at the nexus of ecology, molecular biology and environmental health. Trained as a molecular microbiologist with a PhD from the University of Missouri, he has led multi-omic investigations from glacier-fed streams to soils and translated complex microbial signals into actionable monitoring tools like eDNA for policy and ecosystem management. His work targets pressing global issues—antimicrobial resistance, biodiversity loss and climate impacts—while bridging lab-based microbiology (including anaerobe culture and probiotic development) with high-throughput bioinformatics (Python, R, Qiime, DADA2). Known as an “accidental bioinformatician,” he combines hands-on wet-lab expertise with computational fluency to deliver One Health solutions and stakeholder-ready evidence. Based in South Oxfordshire, he leads a team focused on scalable molecular monitoring that directly informs environmental decision-making.
