Professor Mark Fielder is Professor of Medical Microbiology in the School of Lifesciences at Kingston University. His work explores the nature of viruses, antimicrobial resistance, and public perceptions of vaccines and antibiotics. He takes a “one world” approach - looking at how diseases affect humans, animals and the environment. Studies include: antibiotics being used in agricultural settings as well as in hospitals; antimicrobial resistance in birds of prey; and myths that exists on vaccines and improving public understating of viruses and vaccines. 

Internationally, Mark has worked in the USA (with the EcoHealth Alliance) and in China (where he has looked at the high-profile issue of outbreaks of disease - including coronaviruses -  spreading from wildlife into humans).  Mark’s early career  was as a biomedical scientist in the NHS. He has been President of the Society of Applied Microbiology and an advisor to the US Clinical Laboratory of Sciences Institute (and its veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing panel).
