Bryan Davies
Professor, Molecular Biosciences
Bryan Davies is the Lorene Morrow Kelley Professor in Microbiology in The University of Texas at Austin's Department of Molecular Biosciences. His research explores pathogenic bacteria and potential therapeutic advances, including to help address antibiotic-resistant bacteria. His lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms pathogenic bacteria use to cause disease and to exploit this knowledge for the development of new preventative and therapeutic options. In addition to directing the LaMontagne Center, Bryan also serves on the executive committee for Texas Biologics. Davies earned his bachelor’s degree in biochemistry at McMaster University, his Ph.D. in molecular biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and completed his postdoctoral research at Harvard University.
