Rate My Professor Freya Harrison

Harrison leads research on bacterial pathogens forming chronic biofilm infections with high antibiotic tolerance, focusing on cystic fibrosis lung infections, chronic wounds, and ventilator-associated pneumonia. She develops host-mimicking lab models, including ex vivo pig lung models, and collaborates on novel therapeutics such as antimicrobial polymers and ancient infection remedies through the interdisciplinary AncientBiotics consortium. She received the WH Pierce Prize in 2021 from the Society for Applied Microbiology. Harrison serves on the Microbiology Society Sustainability Committee and the COST Action CA23152 on biofilm regulatory decision making. Her professional email is f.harrison@warwick.ac.uk.
