Overview

Alice C. McHardy is affiliated with the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in Germany. Their research spans multiple interconnected fields, primarily focusing on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with significant contributions in medicine as well.

Their subfields of study include molecular biology, infectious diseases, ecology, epidemiology, and genetics. A variety of topics have been central to their scientific work, including genomics and phylogenetic studies, gut microbiota and health, SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 research, machine learning applications in bioinformatics, bacteriophages and microbial interactions, bacterial identification and susceptibility testing, as well as single-cell and spatial transcriptomics.

Frequent co-authors associated with their work are Philipp C. Münch, Zhi-Luo Deng, Ehsaneddin Asgari, Curtis Huttenhower, and Susanne Reimering.

The scientist has published extensively in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Briefings in Bioinformatics, Cell Reports, Communications Biology, and Genome Biology. Some recent representative papers include:

  • Eleven grand challenges in single-cell data science, 2020, Genome Biology
  • Reporting guidelines for human microbiome research: the STORMS checklist, 2021, Nature Medicine
  • Questioning the fetal microbiome illustrates pitfalls of low-biomass microbial studies, 2023, Nature
  • Predicting antimicrobial resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa with machine learning-enabled molecular diagnostics, 2020, EMBO Molecular Medicine
  • Computational strategies to combat COVID-19: useful tools to accelerate SARS-CoV-2 and coronavirus research, 2020, Briefings in Bioinformatics
