Research interests

Elizabeth Chernysheva is a PhD candidate whose project centers on the development and integration of CRISPR-Cas technology for the non-invasive diagnosis of infectious diseases such as Legionnaires’ Disease and leprosy. This is done under the supervision of Professor Martin Kennedy, Professor Stephen Chambers, and Dr Amy Scott-Thomas.
