Emma Johnstone

Emma completed her undergraduate in Biology at Imperial College London and then completed her MSc in Soil Science at the University of Edinburgh before undertaking a PhD at the University of Warwick. During her PhD Emma explored how climate change driven extreme weather events, such as flooding and drought, impact soil microbiomes across a variety of land-uses.

At Bactobio, Emma leads the bioinformatic analysis of next-generation sequencing data to elucidate the diversity and metabolic potential of newly cultured bacteria.
