Research
My research is focused on the use of bacterial genetics and functional genomics to investigate bacterial metabolism and antimicrobial drug resistance. Ultimately, the goal of this work is to identify new therapeutics and treatment strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance.
My current work places an emphasis on M. tuberculosis and we are extending these approaches to other bacterial pathogens.
