Biography

In 2024, Kate moved to Newcastle University (UK) and leads a team focussed on microbial metabolomics and antibiotic discovery. Prior to this Kate completed a Tenure-Track Chancellor鈥檚 Fellowship at the University of Strathclyde (2016-2020) and was awarded full tenure to associate professor (2020-2023).鈥疨rior to starting her group, Kate completed two Postdoctoral Fellowships at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (California) in Marine鈥疊iomedicine and at The Scottish Marine Institute in Marine鈥疊iotechnology, a PhD in鈥疊iomedical Science (Canada) and a 5-year Masters in Chemistry (Aberdeen, Scotland) with International Placement (Florida). Kate is an advocate for community approaches to data sharing (ActinoBase, NPAtlas, MI-BiG, GNPS etc) and equality in STEMM.

Her work focusses on accelerated biodiscovery using 鈥榦mics methodologies to understand life at molecular, cellular and organism levels. Over recent years, the group has focussed on 鈥榦mics methods to link鈥痓iology (genes) to chemistry (antibiotics) and how the assessment of chemical space across鈥痓iological parameters can enable informed鈥痓iodiscovery of new antibiotics. They often focus on underexplored/extreme ecosystems, such as the deep-sea and Antarctica -  you can find out more about the Duncan lab .
