Dr Peter Hill is a molecular and infection biologist whose research group specialises in relapsing invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella infections. After completing his undergraduate studies in Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge, Peter pursued a PhD at the MRC Clinical Sciences Centre (now MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences) under Prof Petra Hajkova, during which time he studied chromatin dynamics, regulatory genomics and germ cell development. Following his PhD, Peter joined Dr Sophie Helaine's lab at Imperial College London, where he began his research on relapsing Salmonella infections. In 2019, he established his own research group as an Imperial College Research Fellow. His work primarily investigates how host cell phenotype influences the ability of intracellular Salmonella reservoirs to survive during antibiotic treatment, focussing particularly on macrophages. In 2023, Peter joined the Department of Infectious Diseases at King’s College London as a Wellcome Trust Career Development Award Fellow, where he continues this research.
