About

Fiona Walsh is a Professor in the Department of Biology at Maynooth University, Ireland. Her research focuses on environmental microbiomes, antimicrobial resistance, and the interactions between microbial communities and animal health. Recent publications include studies on the metabolism of mucosal-associated invariant T cells, the impact of drinking water on antimicrobial resistance, and the effects of mannan-rich fractions on laying hens' microbiomes.
