Michael Cunliffe

I am Professor of Marine Microbiology in the School of Biological and Marine Sciences at the University of Plymouth and Director of Science and a MBA Senior Research Fellow at the Marine Biological Association. I create knowledge through research and communicate knowledge through teaching, outreach and knowledge exchange activities. I lead a diverse research group who study a range of topics in microbial biology, ecology, and evolution. Our research group works both in the lab and out in the marine environment, locally around Plymouth and in distant locations, including polar regions and the open ocean.
