About

Professor Thomas Connor is a faculty member at Cardiff University, located in the UK. His research focuses on genomic epidemiology, particularly in relation to SARS-CoV-2, as evidenced by his recent publications on variant calling pipelines, in-hospital transmission, and lineage detection. Additionally, his work encompasses phylogenomic studies of bacterial pathogens, including Burkholderia multivorans , and the application of metagenomics for detecting bacterial contaminants in industrial products.
