Dr Aimee Murray

Senior Lecturer

  • a.k.murray@exeter.ac.uk

Dr Aimee Murray is a senior lecturer of microbiology researching the evolution and ecology of antimicrobial resistance, particularly in the environment.

Using interdisciplinary approaches spanning microbiology, ecotoxicology and environmental risk assessment, Aimee’s research aims to have real world impact on the protection of human health and the environment.

She joined the European Centre in 2013 to undertake a BBSRC/ AstraZeneca CASE funded PhD studentship. Following the award of her PhD, Aimee secured a NERC Industrial Innovation Research Fellowship to develop an assay to generate data on selection for antimicrobial resistance for environmental risk assessment.

Aimee commenced her lectureship at the University of Exeter in summer 2021, becoming senior lecturer at the beginning of 2023.
