I’m Lilly, a postdoctoral researcher in the Sheppard Lab within the INEOS Oxford Institute of Antimicrobial Research at the University of Oxford. I previously completed my PhD as part of The Wellcome Trust - University of Nottingham & University of Birmingham Joint 4 Year PhD Training Programme for Antimicrobials & Antimicrobial Resistance under the supervision of Professor Alan McNally and Dr. Nicole Wheeler. My research focuses on the evolution of multidrug resistance (MDR) in Escherichia coli, using a combination of comparative and functional genomic approaches to disentangle the evolutionary processes that can result in multidrug resistant phenotypes.
Beyond my research, I sit on my department’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion and Biology Research Staff Network Committees. I am also part of the Microbiology Society’s Early Career Microbiologists' Forum Executive Committee as the Publishing Panel representative and was previously elected as the Audit, Risk, and Evalutation representative.
