It's great to find a helpful learning resource. Here, I chat to the author of the book "Bacterial Genetics and Genomics", Prof Lori Snyder about the book, who it will be useful for and why this resource is different from others.

About our Guest:

Prof. Lori A. S. Snyder is a Professor in the School of Life Sciences, Pharmacy, and Chemistry at Kingston University, where she is involved in educating undergraduate and graduate students, as well as leading an active and collaborative research group. Prof. Snyder is also active in science outreach activities, including traveling lab visits, offering work experience to teenagers, and participating in public engagement events. Her research focuses on two main areas: combating antibiotic resistant infections and bacterial genetics and genomics. Her novel antimicrobials to stop infant blindness from multi-drug resistant bacterial infections have been featured in Wired (www.wired.co.uk/article/fight-against-super-gonorrhoea) and on the Sparks children’s charity YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQUl5-kC1OQ). Her use of bacterial genome sequence data to uncover new information about pathogens was featured in an interview on the Thermo Fisher Scientific YouTube channel about use of their sequencing system (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_ttuJ6l1hI&t=95s) and in 2013 her contributions were recognized by the Society for Applied Microbiology with the W H Pierce Prize (https://sfam.org.uk/resource/wh-pierce-2013-lori-snyder.html).

Prof. Snyder was twice elected to the Prokaryotic Division committee of the Microbiology Society and services on the Editorial Board of its journal Microbial Genomics, as well as contributing by reviewing many research publications and grant applications.
