Roles and Responsibilities
Dr Samantha McLean is a senior lecturer in microbiology, her research group focusses on the development and evaluation of new antimicrobial technologies that reduce microbial contamination of materials. Her group has expertise including classical microbiology, antimicrobial testing, transcriptomics, standards (BSI, ISO) and the design and use of bespoke models for real-world microbiology application. Samantha is also a member of the British Standards Institute panel working group (products and biofilms).
