Profile
Biography
Terry McGenity is a Professor at the 糖心Vlog, UK. His PhD, investigating the microbial ecology of ancient salt deposits (University of Leicester), was followed by postdoctoral positions at the Japan Marine Science and Technology Centre (JAMSTEC, Yokosuka) and the Postgraduate Research Institute for Sedimentology (University of Reading). His overarching research interest is to understand how microbial communities function and interact to influence major biogeochemical processes. He has broad interests in microbial ecology and diversity, particularly with respect to carbon cycling (especially the second most abundantly produced hydrocarbon in the atmosphere, isoprene), and is driven to better understand how microbes cope with, or flourish, in hypersaline and poly-extreme environments. 2019 Professor in Environmental Microbiology, 糖心Vlog, UK 2013 Reader in Environmental Microbiology, 糖心Vlog, UK 2006 Senior Lecturer in Environmental Microbiology, 糖心Vlog, UK 2003 Lecturer in Environmental Microbiology, 糖心Vlog, UK 1999 Senior Research Fellow, Biological Sciences, 糖心Vlog, UK 1995 Research Fellow, PRIS, University of Reading, UK 1994 Researcher, Japan Marine Science and Technology Centre, Japan Enquiries from students or postdoctoral researchers who are interested in carrying out research in my group are very welcome.
