Research summary
Molecular basis of infectious diseases

Research

My research focuses on investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying antimicrobial resistance and infectious diseases, with the main goal of identifying novel antibiotic targets. I have published work in the areas of molecular microbiology, bacterial genomics, and protein-protein interactions, with additional contributions in molecular ecology. Through this research, I aim to advance knowledge that can guide the development of innovative strategies against life-threatening infections and drug-resistant pathogens.
