Biography
Andrew grew up in Wales (Barry to be precise) and studied for both his undergraduate degree (Biochemistry) and PhD (structural biology of therapeutic enzymes) at the University of Birmingham, before beginning a 6 and a half year stint in Vancouver Canada. In his postdoctoral years he began to appreciate bacteria and the amazing diversity of mechanisms they utilize. In 2010 he came back to the UK to start his own group looking into how we can utilise a 'living antibiotic', the bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, to tackle bacterial pathogens.
