Dr Michael Hall


Michael completed his PhD in March 2022 in the lab of Zamin Iqbal at the University of Cambridge. His thesis focused on developing computational methods for analysing bacterial pan-genomes and applying these to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Michael is currently a postdoctoral researcher in Lachlan Coin’s lab at the Peter Doherty Institute. He continues to work on computational methods for M. tuberculosis analysis – with a current focus on drug resistance prediction.
