Title: Forthcoming
Abstract: Forthcoming
Bio: Freddy Bunbury is a Research Scientist at the University of Chicago investigating microbial thermotolerance and metabolite exchange. My work focuses on developing genome-informed, trait-based frameworks to predict microbiome responses to environmental change. I study how microbial traits and interactions determine ecological performance under environmental change, with a focus on warming and metabolite exchange. My current programme centres on two linked questions: how photosynthetic microbes evolve and acclimate to high temperatures, and how bacteria synthesise, share, and compete for essential metabolites such as vitamin B12. Across these systems, I aim to develop predictive, genome-informed trait frameworks that connect genes to physiology, community assembly, and ecosystem function.
