When two tribes go to War: Interactions Between Microbial Communities in Biosolid-Amended Soils
Dr Cameron Reid, CSIRO Early Research Career Fellow

Cameron is a computational biologist within the Microbiomes for One Systems Health Future Science Platform at CSIRO. His research is focused on understanding how microbes mediate the benefit of biosolids to soils and crops, and how organic pollutants in wastewater might affect this function. Insights developed from his research could be harnessed to develop microbe-focused technologies that boost the benefits of biosolids and ameliorate risks associated with organic pollutants
