Overview

Elizabeth M. H. Wellington is a researcher affiliated with the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom. Their work spans multiple domains primarily within Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Environmental Science, and Medicine.

Their research addresses topics such as Pharmaceutical and Antibiotic Environmental Impacts, Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria, Gut microbiota and health, Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies, Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology, Microplastics and Plastic Pollution, and Legume Nitrogen Fixing Symbiosis.

Recent publications include studies published in prominent journals and cover various aspects of infectious diseases, microbial ecology, and environmental impacts. Notable papers are:

  • COVID-19 vaccine coverage in health-care workers in England and effectiveness of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine against infection (SIREN): a prospective, multicentre, cohort study (2021, The Lancet)
  • SARS-CoV-2 infection rates of antibody-positive compared with antibody-negative health-care workers in England: a large, multicentre, prospective cohort study (SIREN) (2021, The Lancet)
  • Microbial imbalance in inflammatory bowel disease patients at different taxonomic levels (2020, Gut Pathogens)
  • Niche-adaptation in plant-associated Bacteroidetes favours specialisation in organic phosphorus mineralisation (2020, The ISME Journal)
  • Mobile resistome of human gut and pathogen drives anthropogenic bloom of antibiotic resistance (2020, Microbiome)

Elizabeth Wellington frequently collaborates with other researchers. Regular co-authors include Chiara Borsetto, Christopher Quince, Andrew R. J. Murphy, Ian D. E. A. Lidbury, and Sébastien Raguideau.

Their work appears often in several publication venues, with the highest number of contributions to bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), followed by Microbiome, Gastroenterology, The Lancet, and The ISME Journal.

Subfields highlighted in their research are Molecular Biology, Pollution, Plant Science, Infectious Diseases, and Ecology, reflecting a broad interdisciplinary approach combining molecular genetics with environmental and medical sciences.
