Dedicating his career to decoding the genomics of disease-causing bacteria, Stephen Bentley has innovatively applied emerging technologies.
Professor Stephen Bentley, now Principal Staff Scientist, joined the Wellcome Sanger Institute in 1998. His team have laid the foundations for understanding and combating resistance to vaccines and antibiotics. His work on bacterial pathogens has mainly focused on exploring the biological characteristics and evolution of Streptococcus pneumoniae, which can cause pneumonia and other severe infections. In this blog article, Stephen explains how next-generation sequencing revolutionised his work, highlights his team’s strong global collaborations and shares his joy for mentoring early-career scientists.
