Tim Regan

Postdoctoral research fellow

With a strong foundation in innate immune-mediated inflammation regulation from his PhD, Tim joined the Roslin Institute in 2014, where he cultivated expertise in bioinformatics and network graphing. His research journey led him through macrophage transcriptomics and honey bee metagenomics, eventually culminating in Genome-scale CRISPR Knock-Out (GeCKO) screening to explore host susceptibility/resistance genes involved in human, chickens and pigs.

Tim shifted his focus to work on the potential of bivalves as food sources for humans. In 2023, he was awarded a Career Track Fellowship at Roslin, and now leads an independent research group dedicated to unravelling the complexities of immune regulation in aquaculture invertebrates.
