Rate My Professor Will Gaze

Gaze's research has profoundly impacted global AMR strategies. With Dr. Anne Leonard, he showed surfers carry three times more AMR bacteria in their gut than non-surfers, underscoring environmental risks. He co-authored the UNEP Frontiers Report chapter on AMR with Professor Michael Depledge, influencing United Nations and WHO responses. Gaze advises UK and international governments, WHO, UNEP, European Environment Agency, UK Environment Agency, and Defra. He received a NERC Knowledge Exchange Fellowship for 'the environmental dimension of antimicrobial resistance: informing policy, regulation and practice.' He leads a UK-Argentina grant on AMR in beef feedlots, combining evidence synthesis, modeling, microbiology, and evolutionary biology. Invited to speak on AMR across five continents, his contributions include key publications such as 'Heavy metal pollution and co-selection for antibiotic resistance: A microbial palaeontology approach' (2019) and 'Role played by the environment in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance' (2021), amassing over 10,000 citations.
