Jeremy Barr, PhD

Senior Lecturer & Group Leader
Monash University
Prahran, Australia

Jeremy completed his PhD in microbiology at The University of Queensland in 2011. He then moved to San Diego, USA to complete a postdoctoral position with Prof. Forest Rohwer at San Diego State University. While there he studied the interactions of bacteriophage with mucosal surfaces and was involved in a word-first phage therapy case treating a patient with a disseminated, multidrug-resistant infection. In 2016, he joined Monash University's School of Biological Sciences where he is currently a Senior Lecturer and Group Leader. His research group studies bacteriophages and their tripartite interactions with their bacterial hosts and the human body. In 2020, he joined the Centre to Impact AMR where he leads translational phage therapy work.
